POSSIBLE SUPERNOVA IN NGC 5425Zhangwei Jin(Ningbo, Zhejiang, China) and Xing Gao (Urumqi, Xinjiang, China), report the discovery of a possible supernova (mag approximately 16.6) on a 60-s survey image (limiting mag about 19.5)taken by Xing Gao in Xingming ObservationSky Survey(C42) around May. 13.84400 UT,2011. using a unfilled CCD ( + Celestron C14 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope D=350-mm @f/6.9 ).the new object approximately located at R.A. =14h 00m 46s.32 Decl.=+48°26’46”.4 (equinox 2000.0). Which is about 15.6″ west and 8.4″ north of the center of the NGC 5425.
Nothing is visible at this position on archival images taken on Apr. 24 (limiting mag 19.0) , Apr. 27 (limiting mag 17.5) and May. 27 (limiting mag 17.5) or on the DSS(POSS2/UKSTU Red) from Mar 26,1989(limiting mag about 19.5).
