Further to CBET 1187, W. Li and A. V. Filippenko report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 17.5) on an unfiltered KAIT image taken on Jan. 11.42 UT. The new object (designated 2008D) is located at R.A. = 9h9m30s.65, Decl. = +33o8'20".3 (equinox 2000.0), which is 38".3 west and 55".6 north of the nucleus of NGC 2770, and located on a spiral arm of the galaxy. A KAIT image on Jan. 2.43 showed nothing at this location (limiting mag 19.6). SN 2007uy (cf. IAUC 8908; CBET 1191) was also in NGC 2770 and was measured at mag 15.5 on Jan. 11.42.
