The Nearby Supernova Factory reports the discovery of supernova SNF20060616-022 (coordinates RA 21:49:57.67 DEC +32:01:58.7 J2000.0) in images obtained June 16.5 UT at an approximate magnitude of 19.5 (calibrated to R) using the QUEST II camera on the Palomar Oschin 48-inch telescope as a part of the JPL Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking component of the Palomar-QUEST Consortium. A spectrum (range 320-1000 nm) of this object, obtained June 20.6 UT with the Supernova Integral Field Spectrograph on the University of Hawaii 2.2-meter telescope, reveals that SNF20060616-022 is a Type IIn supernova, at an approximate redshift of z = 0.12 as measured from the peak of its prominent, narrow H-alpha emission feature.
