On 2018-06-03 we have obtained a spectrum of the optical transient AT2018cdc / DLT18y (ATel #11678) in the nuclear region of galaxy NGC 274 (z=0.005837) with the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS - Dopita et al., 2007, ApSS, 310, 255) on board 2.3m ANU telescope at Siding Spring Observatory. We classify the transient as a Type II supernova. We have performed spectral fitting with Gelato (Harutyunyan et al., 2008, A&A, 488, 383). The spectrum matches with the template of SN2005gj. Numerous emission lines from host galaxies are seen on top of supernova features.
