We report spectroscopic observation of PSN J14324449+0953123 (listed on the IAU Central Bureau's TOCP page). A spectrum (range 350-1000 nm) obtained robotically on Feb. 18.70 UT with the FLOYDS (FTS)
spectrograph shows it to be a young type-II supernova. The spectrum shows a blue continuum with a broad feature at ~ 4600A. The Balmer lines are not visible. Comparisons with a library of
supernova spectra using the "GELATO" code (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A.Ap. 488, 383) yields the best match with SN2000ck (Puckett, T. 2000, IAUC, 7431, 1).
