We report the discovery of a supernova, located at RA: 03:20:18.59 Dec: +41:21:45.1(J2000), in unfiltered CCD images taken with the 0.45-m ROTSE-IIIb telescope at McDonald Observatory. The supernova is detected at ~18.3 mag on Jul. 30.36 UT and ~18.0 mag on Aug. 1.34 UT and observed to have decayed to ~18.8 on Aug 9.33 UT. It was not detected to ~18.7 mag before discovery on Jul. 24.38 UT. There is no apparent host seen in the DSS image, but the location is in the middle of a group of galaxies in the Perseus Cluster.
