10月23日早，金彰伟检看早前拍摄的星系图片，一直到徐智坚上线时还是一无所获。见到徐上线，金彰伟就不再下载新图片，把已经下载好的图片看完。在金彰伟检看最后一个目录时，发现星系PGC12964的右上方的星系PGC12982的可疑超新星爆发。在徐的协助下完成目标上报。当天下午，已由澳大利亚人拍摄确认发现。

POSSIBLE SUPERNOVA IN UGC02756 NED01
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 19.5)taken by Xing Gao in Xingming ObservationSky Survey(C42) around Oct.22.79529 UT,2011. using a unfilted 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.
Nothing is visible at this position on archival images taken on Oct.08 (limiting mag 19.5) and Oct. 06 (limiting mag 19.0) or on the DSS(POSS2/UKSTU Red) from Sep. 29,1989(limiting mag about 19.8).
