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 ATLAS survey, see Tonry et al. (2011, PASP, 123, 58) and Tonry et al. (ATel #8680) and the Tsinghua-NAOC Transient Survey. All observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2017 Sept. 20, using EFOSC2 and Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution). Classifications were done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) and GELATO (Harutyunyan et al., 2008, A&A, 488, 383). Classification spectra and additional details can be obtained from http://www.pessto.org (via WISeREP) and the IAU Transient Name Server.

(1) Blue, featureless continuum. The source lies close to KUG 2329+260, and at the distance of this galaxy would have an absolute magnitude -16.2. This magnitude and spectrum is consistent with a young Type II SN a few days after explosion.
(2) Not visible on acquisition image.
