SUPERNOVA 2007gj IN ESO 298-28
     L. A. G. Monard, Pretoria, S. Africa, reports his discovery of an
apparent supernova (mag about 16.2 +/- 0.2) on images taken on Aug. 4.12 UT;
2007gj was confirmed at mag 16.0 +/- 0.2 on an image taken on Aug. 5.01.
The new object is located at R.A. = 2h19m33s.85, Decl. = -37o48'44".2
(equinox 2000.0), which is 44" west and 22" north of the nucleus of Sbc-type
galaxy ESO 298-28.  Nothing is visible on an image of the Digitized Sky
Survey (limiting red mag 20.5) or on Monard's image taken on July 16.13
(limiting red mag 19.0).
