  "body": "P. Vreeswijk (University of Amsterdam) and S. Smartt (Institute of\nAstronomy, Cambridge) report that images taken by Gerry Gilmore and\nRosie Wyse on the Isaac Newton Telescope, La Palma on Feb. 2.9 UT have\nallowed an accurate projection of the position of SN 2002ap on the\npre-discovery images reported in IAUC 7816. Within the new errors,\nthe SN is not coincident with the V = 21.2 object reported as a\npossible progenitor. The difference in position between SN 2002ap and\nthis object is 1.7 +/- 0.3\" where the error is dominated by the error\nin the position of the faint object. There is no object in the pre-\ndiscovery images at the SN position, to limiting magnitudes (5-sigma, \n2\" aperture radius) of U = 20.8, B = 22.1, V = 22.0, and I = 20.8.",
