ePESSTO, the extended Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient Objects (see Smartt et al. 2015, A&A, 579, 40 http://www.pessto.org ), reports the following supernova classifications. Targets were supplied by the ESA Gaia Photometric Science Alerts Team and DPAC (http://gsaweb.ast.cam.ac.uk/alerts), the ATLAS survey, see Tonry et al. (2011, PASP, 123, 58) and Tonry et al. (ATel #8680), the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients (see Chambers et al. 2016, arXiv:1612.05560, and http://pswww.ifa.hawaii.edu ), and SkyMapper, see Scalzo et al. (ATel #5480). All observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2017 April 28, using EFOSC2 and Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution). Classifications were performed with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024). The classification spectra and additional details can be obtained from http://www.pessto.org (via WISeREP) and the IAU Transient Name Server.

(1) Similar to SN 2005cs at maximum, corresponding to ~6 days from explosion. 
(2) Blue continuum. 
(3) At the same redshift of the host galaxy. The SN shows slightly narrow features compared with a normal SN Ia. 
(4) We acknowledge the contribution of Zooniverse Citizen Scientists 'LonMcGregor', 'Jose_Campos' and 'MingMing'. 
(5) We acknowledge the contribution of Zooniverse Citizen Scientists 'peterfoele', 'Pinadva' and 'BLGoodwin'. 
(6) Redshift obtained from host galaxy emission lines. 
(7) Transient not visible on a deep acquisition	image, the transient is now below the discovery magnitude. 
(8) No clear object at the reported transient position, possibly a galactic transient that faded.
