Offset ---------------------------------------------------------------------------— 2011ay Mar. 18.18 7 02 34.06 +50 35 25.0 17.7 9".3 E, 1".4 S ---------------------------------------------------------------------------—

Nothing was visible at this position on a KAIT image from Mar. 1.22 UT (limiting mag 19.6). The object was designated PSN J07023406+5035250 when posted on the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage, and it is here designated SN 2011ay based on the spectroscopic report below. Joseph Brimacombe (Cairns, Australia) writes that he obtained sixteen 600-s exposures on Mar. 20.204 remotely with a 51-cm RCOS telescope (+ STL11K camera) at the New Mexico Skies Observatory near Mayhill, NM, U.S.A., which yield mag 16.8 and position end figures 34s.09, 24".6 for 2011ay; he has posted his images at website URL http://www.flickr.com/photos/43846774@N02/5544607756/.
