Supernova 2010kq in UGC 1769

Report the CRTS discovery of an apparent supernova in public images from the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS). SN 2010 UT R.A. (2000.0) Decl. Mag. Offset 2010kq Dec. 7.23 2 18 10.92 +37 05 42.4 18.3 0".3 E, 4".9 S After posting on the CBAT's unconfirmed-objects webpage, Markku Nissinen and Veli-Pekka Hentunen (Varkaus, Finland) report that their exposures (limiting mag R = 18.9; 3-sigma) taken on Dec. 9 remotely with a 51-cm f/6.8 GRAS011 Global-Rent-a-Scope (+ FLI ProLine PL-11002M camera) near Mayhill, NM, USA, yield position end figures 11s.05, 39".9 for 2010kq (which is 1".5 east and 6".1 south of the center of the galaxy UGC 1769); they note that nothing is visible at this position on a red Palomar Sky Survey F plate. Further CCD magnitude estimates for 2010kq (unfiltered unless otherwise noted): Nov. 15.20 UT, [19.5 (CSS); Dec. 9.088, R = 16.4 +/- 0.1 (Nissinen and Hentunen); 9.14, 16.4 (Howerton; remotely using the LB-1 0.6m telescope at Rodeo, NM, U.S.A.). Drake notes that the presumed host galaxy, UGC 1769, has redshift z = 0.027....
