An independent discovery of 2010bq was made by E. Briggs, J. Newton, and 
T. Puckett on an image taken with a 0.4-m reflector at Portal, AZ, 
U.S.A., on Apr. 14.39 UT
P. Challis et. al., on behalf of the CfA Supernova Group, reports that 
spectroscopic observations of Apr. 15 UT by P. Berlind with the F. L. 
Whipple Observatory 1.5-m telescope (+ FAST), shows it to be a type-IIn 
supernova. (CBET 2243)

A. J. Maxwell et. al., University of Victoria and others report that a 
noisy spectrogram of Apr. 14.25 with the 1.82-m Plaskett Telescope of 
the National Research Council of Canada, shows the spectrum to be 
similar to that of a type-Ib/c supernova.
