     For you pre-dawn observers, Bob Evans has discovered a new supernova
in M74, which was reported on IAUC 8150.  It is reported as mag. 13
and located on the southern spiral arm 13" east and 160" south of the
nucleus (SN position:  1 36 42.7 +15 44 21 (J2000).  This has been
confirmed as a type II supernova, so shouldn't fade out too fast if
it is close to maximum.
