     By comparing the Schmidt-plates of the Konkoly Observatory 
obtained during the regular supernova patrol, a supernova has been found
in a very faint anonymous galaxy. The plates were taken on 30.0875 UT
November, 1989. The brightness of the SN is about 17.5, the galaxy is
17 mag. The distance of the SN from the galaxy center is 5.8" to SW. The
exact coordinates are: RA.= 07h 23m 34.5s; Decl.: +64d 0' 29.8" (1950.0).
