AGILE detected gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV from a source at Galactic coordinates (l,b) = (81.6 39.1)+/-0.7 deg (95% stat.) ± 0.1 deg (sist.) (R.A.,Dec.=252.9, 53.7 deg, J2000). Integrating from 2012-01-09 11:26 UT until 2012-01-11 10:57 UT, a maximum likelihood analysis yields a detection at a significance level larger than 5 sigma and a flux F = (280 ± 90) E-08 ph/cm2/s (E > 100 MeV). There is evidence that the most of the emission is for E<400 MeV.
