The Catalina Real-time Transient Survey has discovered seven supernova candidates from CSS images and Palomar-60 follow-up between UT dates Dec 20th and Jan 26th. The detections have the following parameters:

CSS081229:134527-104353	2008-12-29 UT 13:17:24	RA 13:45:26.56	Dec -10:43:52.8	Mag 17.9	Type SN?
CSS081220:021652+135500	2008-12-20 UT 04:06:34	RA 02:16:52.47	Dec 13:55:00.7	Mag 17.8	Type SN

  
CSS090126:093230+174119 appears associated with galaxy 2MASX_J09323134+1741326 which has SDSS Gunn   
mags (u=17.9, g=16.3, r=15.7, i=15.4, z=15.2) and spectroscopic redshift z=0.049.  
CSS090125:112317+101741 is associated with an SDSS galaxy with mags (23.9, 22.3, 22.2, 21.9, 21.4).  
CSS090120:164659+272759 is associated with an SDSS galaxy with mags (22.2, 22.0, 21.5, 21.3, 21.0).  
CSS090102:115111+244022 is associated with an SDSS galaxy with mags (22.9, 21.6, 21.3, 21.0, 21.4)  
in a galaxy cluster at z=0.13.  
CSS090102:130037+175057 has no apparent host galaxy in SDSS, PQ, or DSS data.  
CSS081229:134527-104353 has a possible faint source seen in deep CSS coadds but not PQ coadds,   
as well as a possible detection in DSS2-B. This suggests the object might be a CV. However,  
follow-up observations colours were more consistent with young SN-Ia.  
CSS081220:021652+135500 is associated with a faint source seen in SDSS data. Follow-up   
observations exhibited a colour consistent with young SN-Ia.
