SUPERNOVAE 2010hf IN MCG +09-11-21
     G. H. Marion and P. Challis, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
(CfA), on behalf of the CfA Supernova Group, report that a low-signal-to-noise
spectrum (range 360-740 nm) of 2010hf (cf. CBET 2432), obtained on Sept. 2 UT
by P. Berlind with the F. L. Whipple Observatory 1.5-m telescope (+ FAST),
shows 2010hf to be a type-IIb supernova.  Cross-correlation with a library of
supernova spectra using the "Supernova Identification" code (SNID; Blondin
and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) provides the best fit to spectra from SN
1993J obtained a few days after maximum light.
