IAUC 7906) discovery of an apparent supernova on unfiltered KAIT images taken on Nov. 23.2 (mag about 17.0) and 24.2 UT (mag about 16.8), and on 0.8-m Tenagra II automatic telescope images taken on Nov. 24.1 (mag about 16.8) and 25.2 (mag about 16.6). SN 2002jg is located at R.A. = 22h19m28s.80, Decl. = +29o23'04".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 20".0 west and 13".1 south of the brightest southeast nucleus of the interacting triple-galaxy system NGC 7253. A KAIT image taken on Nov. 18.2 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 19.5).
