SUPERNOVA 2006lg IN UGC 2243
     J. M. Silverman, M. Ganeshalingam, and A. V. Filippenko, University
of California, Berkeley, report that inspection of a CCD spectrum (range
330-1040 nm), obtained on Oct. 30 UT with the Lick 3-m telescope (+
Kast), shows that 2006lg (cf. CBET 706) is a type-II supernova.
Removing the recession velocity of 9090 km/s (Huchra et al. 1999, Ap.J.
Suppl. 121, 287), the minimum of the H-alpha P-Cyg absorption line is
found to be blueshifted by 10300 km/s.
