We obtained spectra of PSN J11104841-3727022 (discovered by Stu Parker; BOSS) on 2014 November 9.71 and 12.71 (UT) with the robotic FLOYDS instrument mounted on the Faulkes Telescope South and find it to be a Type II supernova at the redshift of the host galaxy (0.008152; via NED). We find a possible high-velocity (~18,000 km/s blueshift) broad H-alpha absorption feature in addition to the "normal" velocity (~7,000 km/s) one. A CBET was submitted on December 5 with the aim of obtaining an IAU designation for this supernova.
