Discovered by M. Sugano, Kakogawa, Hyogo-ken, Japan using 0.35-m f/11.0 Schmidt-Cassegrain + unfiltered CCD, which was confirmed on following ten frames taken during about one hour after discovery. Measurement has been done by K. Kadota, Ageo. Nothing is visible at this location on a frame taken on 2012 Dec. 10 UT (limit mag. wasn't reported).

This object was observed by Federica Luppi and Luca Buzzi from Schiaparelli Observatory, Varese, Italy. In a stack of images totalling 5 minutes of unfiltered exposure time, the object has position end figures 56s.93, 50".1 and magnitude 16.4.

This transient was observed by Gianluca Masi and Stefano Giovanardi, remotely using the 17"-f/6.8 robotic unit part of the Virtual Telescope Project in Ceccano, Italy. We obtained several, 90-sec exposures (unfiltered) and confirm the presence of the source. We provide the following magnitude, based on R-mags for 10 reference stars from the UCAC-4 catalogue: 16.4. We performed astrometry too, with the following end figures: RA: 56.92s; decl.: 50.0 (J2000.0)

Mag.= 15.8, position end figures 56s.93, 49".3 observed by T. Noguchi, Chiba-ken, Japan, from a frame (limit mag.= 17.0) exposed by 40-s using 0.23-m f/6.3 Schmidt-Cassegrain + unfiltered CCD. Position and magnitude were measured from UCAC3. See an image at http://park8.wakwak.com/~ngc/images/PSNinM65.jpg.

Mag.= 15.8 R using 0.3-m f/7 reflector + CCD (SBIG STL-1001E) at Osaki Japan (D95). Position and magnitude were measured on an image composed from 6-frames which were taken by each 60-seconds exposure under the limit magnitude = 17.5. Observer T. Yusa, Y. Suzuki, K .Kato, Osaki, Japan. Position and magnitude was measured using UCAC-3
