Jiaming Liao(Hefei,Anhui,China),Jiangao Ruan(Fangchenggang,Guangxi,China) and Xing Gao (Urumqi,Xinjiang,China), report the discovery of a possible supernova (mag approximately 17.6) on one 40-s survey image (limiting mag about 19.0) taken by Xing Gao in Xingming Observation Sky Survey(C42) around Sept.11.87181 UT. using an unfiltered CCD ( + Celestron C14 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope D=356-mm @f/6.9 ). The new object approximately located at R.A.=04h 54m 44s.10 Decl.=+69 43 07.5(equinox 2000.0). Which is about 67.1″ east and 13.8″ north of the center of the PGC 16301.
