Further to ATel#3416, we report the confirmation of 15 supernova discovered by CRTS. Observations were taken with the Palomar 5m+DBSP on June 26, 27 and 30 UT:

Notes: 
Finding charts for these events can be found at "http://voeventnet.caltech.edu/feeds/ATEL/CRTS".  
 
CSS110623:131919-045106 exhibits relatively narrow emission (500km/s) in H_alpha, H_beta, [OIII]  
as well as strong [OII] along with a relatively blue continuum. Some sign of a broad H_alpha  
component is present, suggesting the object may be a type-IIn. 
 
CSS110429:211759-023723 was observed on June 26th and 27th with the best match being spectrum  
being that of SN 2002ic. The peak brightness of combined with redshift based on cross-correlation  
suggests Mv~-20.9. 
 
CSS110414:170342+324553 has a noisy spectrum. However, clear narrow lines of H_beta, [OIII], and  
[OII] are observed z=0.28. 
 
Regarding Quimby et al. 2011 (ATel#3465), we find that PTF11dsf was clearly detected in three CSS  
images taken on May 7 UT at magnitude V~20.2, as well on images from June 2nd and 11th (at V~19.2).  
The object is not detected on 59 prior nights between 2004-04-16 and 2011-04-28 to a limiting mag  
of V~20. 

All CRTS discoveries are found through the real-time processing of Catalina Sky Survey data and are immediately made available from links found at "http://crts.caltech.edu/" and "http://Skyalert.org".
