S. Nakano, Sumoto, Japan, reports the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 17.2) by Yoji Hirose (Tsutsumi, Chigasaki, Kanagawa- ken, Japan) on ten unfiltered CCD frames taken around 2007 Dec. 31.669 UT using a 0.35-m f/6.8 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (limiting mag 18.0); Nakano has measured mag 17.0 and the following position for the new object from a jpeg image supplied by Hirose: R.A. = 9h09m35s.40, Decl. = +33o07'09".9 (equinox 2000.0), which is 20".6 east and 15".5 south of the center of NGC 2770. Nothing is visible at this position on red Digitized Sky Survey images from 1998 and 2000, though there are apparently numerous H II regions nearby. Additional unfiltered CCD magnitudes for 2007uy: 2007 Mar. 7 and Dec. 18, [18 (Hirose); Dec. 31.786, 17.3 (K. Kadota, Ageo, Japan, 0.25-m f/5 reflector; position end figures 35s.27, 08".9); 2008 Jan. 1.595, 17.0 (Hirose); 1.651, 16.9 (K. Itagaki, Takanezawa station, Tochigi-ken, Japan, 0.30-reflector; position end figures 35s.35, 08".9); 1.885, 16.8 (P. Corelli, Pagnacco, Italy, 0.45-m f/4.5 reflector; position end figures 35s.17, 08".9).
