The new object, which is also present at mag approximately 17.3 ± 0.5 in an image taken on Apr. 5.30, is located at R.A. = 21h03m29s.62 ± 0".1, Decl. = -67o11'01".1 ± 0".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 0".2 west and 8".7 south of center of the galaxy. Nothing is visible at this position on archival images taken on 2008 Apr. 2.31 (limiting mag 17.5) and 2007 Nov. 8.02 (limiting mag 18.0).
