SUPERNOVA 2006ha IN IC 1461
     R. J. Foley and A. V. Filippenko, University of California, Berkeley,
report that inspection of CCD spectra (range 480-1000 nm), obtained on
Nov. 24 UT with the Keck II 10-m telescope (+ DEIMOS), shows that 2006ha
(cf. IAUC 8758) is a type-Ia supernova, roughly 2 months after maximum
brightness.
