He used a 0.35-m f/6 Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope and SXVF H9 CCD camera. The object was also recorded on several subsequent images to a limiting unfiltered magnitude of 19.0 Precise position: 14h 37m 21.60s +36° 34' 01.8" (2000) Offsets from galaxy: 7" W 3" S Mag 17.46V (unfiltered) The object was not visible on the Digitised Sky Survey POSS II Blue plate or the POSS II Red plate nor listed on CBAT's Minor Planet Checker. L. Tomasella et. al. (INAS OAPd) further reports on The Astronomer’s Telegram 7619 that the Asiago Transient Classification Program relays the spectroscopic classification of PSN J14372160+3634018 in NGC 5695 following the posting on CBAT WWW by Ron Arbour. The observation was performed with the Asiago 1.82 m Copernico Telescope (+AFOSC; range 340-820 nm; resolution 1.4 nm). This revealed that on June 11.04UT the type was II in an early phase v=4225 km/a (RC3). There was a blue featureless continuum, with a broad and shallow bump at the Halpha position (FWHM ~ 9000 km/s). Classification was done with GELATO (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A&A, 488, 383). The Asiago classification spectra are posted at the website http://sngroup.oapd.inaf.it. Congratulations to Ron on the discovery of this further supernova. Guy M Hurst
