We report the discovery of a supernova candidate, located at RA: 12:56:42.68 Dec: 27:30:40.6 (J2000, uncertainty <1 "), in unfiltered CCD images taken by the 0.45m ROTSE-IIIb telescope at McDonald Observatory, Texas. This transient was discovered at ~16.7 mag on Jul. 12.18 UT, and observed to brighten to ~16.0 mag on Jul. 16.17 UT. It is not detected to a limiting magnitude of ~18.9 on Jun. 28.20 UT when the field was last imaged by ROTSE before the discovery.
