Zhangwei Jin(Ningbo, Zhejiang, China) and Xing Gao (Urumqi, Xinjiang, China), report the discovery of a possible supernova (mag approximately 15.8) on a 40-s survey image (limiting mag about 19.0)taken by Xing Gao in Xingming ObservationSky Survey(C42) around Oct.22.79529 UT,2011. using a unfiltered CCD ( + Celestron C14 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope D=350-mm @f/6.9 ).the new object approximately located at R.A. =03h 29m 35s.30 Decl.=+40°52’02”.9(equinox 2000.0). Which is about 2.3″ east and 5.1″ south of the center of the UGC02756 NED01.
