SUPERNOVA 2010gq IN PGC 1142
     N. B. Andreasen, S. J. Jakobsen, and C. Heje Groenbech, DARS Summer
School -- together with J. Fynbo and J. Sollerman, Dark Cosmology Center,
Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen University -- report on optical
spectroscopy of SN 2010gq obtained with the Nordic Optical Telescope (+
ALFOSC; range 350-900 nm, resolution 0.8 nm) on Aug. 11.2 UT.  The fully
reduced spectrum of 2010gq (cf. CBET 2389) in CGCG 382-041 shows this to
be a type-II supernova several months past explosion. The H-alpha line
has a FWHM of about 7500 km/s.
