     Filip Novoselnik, on behalf of La Sagra Sky Survey Supernova Search Team
(including also Denis Vida, Ivica Skokic, Robert Gregic, Salvador Sanchez,
Jaime Nomen, Reiner Stoss, Bill Yeung, Juan Rodriguez, and Miguel Hurtado),
reports the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 17.0) on three CCD images
(limiting magnitude about 20.0) taken on July 20.101, 10.116, and 10.132 UT
with a 0.45-m telescope.  The new object, which was also found at V = 18.0
in six stacked 90-s images taken at La Sagra with a 0.40-m telescope on July
16.091, is located at R.A. = 21h50m54s.34, Decl. = -17d46'09".4 (equinox
2000.0), which is 6" west and 5" north of the nucleus of the galaxy PGC
190539.  Nothing is present on a Digitized Sky Survey image from 1995 June 5
(limiting red mag 22).  A stacked image has been posted at the following
