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 OGLE-IV Real-time Transient Search (Wyrzykowski et al., 2014 arxiv:1409.1095; http://ogle.astrouw.edu.pl/ ) and the ATLAS survey, see Tonry et al. (2011, PASP, 123, 58) and Tonry et al. (ATel #8680). All observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2017 AUgust 27th, using EFOSC2 and Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution). Classifications were done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024). Classification spectra and additional details can be obtained from http://www.pessto.org (via WISeREP) and the IAU Transient Name Server.

(1) Best SNID fit to SN2004et
(2) Blue featureless continuum
(3) Best SNID fit to SN Ia-91T 1999aa
(4) Best SNID fit to SN2004et
(5) The spectrum resembles that of the type IIn SN 2012al at early phases (Tomasella et al. 2012, CBET 3033, 2; http://sngroup.oapd.inaf.it/asiago_class/class/sn2012al.png ). At the estimated redshift, the transient has an absolute magnitude of -21.2 mag, making it a SLSN
(6) Best SNID fit to SN1999gi
