The intial discovery was made by Mikko Päivinen (Rajamäki, Finland) on 26.12.2008 and I confirmed the discovery next evening by taking several unfiltered exposures of the target. After some checking and rechecking Arto Oksanen from Jyväskylän Sirius reported our discovery to IAU as a possible supernova. After some long hours of waiting, I received an email from Arto that IAU (CBET 1635) had confirmed our discovery and gave it a designation SN2008im. Bravo and thank you Mikko and Arto!
