SUPERNOVA 2005kh IN NGC 3094
     J. Prieto and D. DePoy, Ohio State Uuniversity; and N.
Morrell, Las Campanas Observatory, report that a spectrogram
(range 390-730 nm) of SN 2005kh (CBET 292, IAUC 8632), obtained
on Nov. 22.5 UT at the MDM 2.4-m telescope (+ CCDS), shows it to
be a type-II supernova with well-developed hydrogen and He I
(587.6 nm) P-Cyg profiles.  Using a recession velocity of 2404
km/s for NGC 3094 (Haynes and Giovanelli 1997, A.J. 113, 1197),
an expansion velocity of 4300 km/s is derived from the minimum of
the H_beta absorption.
