We report that a spectrum of PSN J13041770-1020012 was obtained with
FLOYDS (range 320-1000nm) on Faulkes Telescope South on UT Jan 03.73
2014. The spectrum reveals it to be a Type II supernova at the
redshift of the apparent host galaxy, NGC 4939 (z=0.01037).
Classification was performed via supernova spectrum cross correlation
using SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024), with the
best-fitting template being SN 2005cs.
