Six apparent supernovae discoveries have been reported from unfiltered CCD images. SN 2005du was found by the 'Nearby Supernova Factory' group via G. Aldering (cf. CBET 214); 2005dv by P. Dainese (Marghera, Italy) and A. Dimai (Cortina, Italy) in the course of the CROSS program (cf. IAUC 7373); 2005dw and 2005dx by N. Ponticello, M. Baek, J. Burket, and W. Li (via LOSS/KAIT; cf. IAUC 8594); and 2005dy by A. Sehgal, J. Newton, and T. Puckett with the 0.50-m Sehgal telescope (Osoyoos, BC) in the course of the Puckett Observatory Supernova Search (cf. IAUC 8580). SN 2005dz was found independently by Puckett and A. Pelloni with a 0.60-m reflector (whence the tabulated data below) and by LOSS. SN 2005 UT R.A. (2000.0) Decl. Mag.

SN 2005du was confirmed photometrically on Aug. 11.5 with the Lick 1-m Nickel reflector and was found to be a type-II supernova via spectroscopic observations with the 5-m Palomar reflector by A. Gal-Yam, D. Sand, and D. C. Leonard on Aug. 14. Also, nothing is visible at the location of SN 2005dv on Palomar Sky Survey red, blue, and infrared images. Li provides position end figures 38s.28, 17".1 (and offsets 23".8 east, 15".0 north of the center of UGC 12717) for SN 2005dz.
