SUPERNOVA 2010ip
     D. Milisavljevic and R. Fesen, Dartmouth College, report that a
low-dispersion optical spectrum (range 440-770 nm) of 2010ip (cf. CBET 2491)
was obtained with the 2.4-m Hiltner telescope (+ Mark III) at MDM Observatory
on Oct. 12.4 UT.  Comparison with a library of supernova spectra using the
"Supernova Identification" tool (SNID; Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666,
1024) suggests a normal type-Ia event around maximum light at redshift z =
0.052.
