We report that a spectrum of PSN J20580373+1103108, from the CBAT unconfirmed objects page: http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J20580373+1103108.html was obtained robotically on Aug 14.42 with the FLOYDS spectrograph at "Faulkes Telescope North" at Haleakala.
The spectrum (range 320-1000 nm) shows it to be a SN Ia roughly
one week before maximum light, and is consistent with the host galaxy (CGCG 425-26) redshift of
z=0.027. Classification was performed via supernova spectrum cross correlation using SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).
