E. W. Guenther and S. Klose, Thueringer Landessternwarte, Tautenburg (TLT), report that observations of SN 2004dj, obtained with the Tautenburg 2-m telescope (+ high-resolution echelle spectrograph) on Aug. 4.08 and 5.06 UT, reveal Na I D lines in NGC 2403 with a heliocentric velocity of 164.8 ± 0.1 km/s (each with equivalent width 0.092 ± 0.005 Angstroem). Following Munari and Zwitter (1997, A.Ap. 318, 269), this corresponds to E(B-V) = 0.026 ± 0.002 mag of line-of-sight reddening in the host.
