SUPERNOVA IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
     L. Searle, Hale Observatories, telegraphs that J. P. Huchra
has discovered a supernova 20" west and 6" south of the nucleus of
an anonymous galaxy located at R.A. = 3h08m.8, Decl. = +41o58' (equinox
1950.0).  On Aug. 11 the photovisual magnitude was 15.5.


omicron ANDROMEDAE
     D. J. Stickland, Royal Greenwich Observatory, writes that a
spectrogram of omicron And at a dispersion of 8.5 A/mm was obtained by
R. W. Argyle and himself with the Cassegrain spectrograph on the
250-cm Isaac Newton telescope on Aug. 21.02 UT.  From H-gamma to H_9
there was no trace of any emission in any line in that reqion.


AZ CASSIOPEIAE
     P. Tempesti, Collurania Observatory, writes: "Photoelectric
observations made at the Collurania Observatory show that the VV
Cep star AZ Cas (period 9.3 years) entered eclipse on Auq. 11, ten
days in advance of the prediction in the Cracow ephemeris; the
total phase will last until mid-November.  This star has never been
spectroscopically observed at minimum; observations during the next
three months are therefore very desirable.  The V maqnitude at
minimum will be 9.6, the B magnitude about 11.5.


CI CYGNI
     J. Bortle, Brooks Observatory, communicates the following
visual magnitude estimates, the first of them made by P. Brlas in
Hungary: July 28 UT, 9.1; Aug. 19.1, 10.7; 23.1, 11.2.


PERIODIC COMET BOETHIN (1975a)
     The following precise position has been measured by R. L.
Waterfield from a plate taken by R. H. S. South at Woolston Observatory.
The coma was circular and 20" in diameter.  No convincing
image appeared on an exposure through thin cloud on Apr. 2.9 UT.

     1975 UT             R. A. (1950) Decl.         m1
     Mar. 30.87986     4 57 50.51   +28 15 50.3    15.5



1975 August 29                 (2825)              Brian G. Marsden
