S. Taubenberger and A. Pastorello, Max-Planck-Institut fuer Astrophysik, Garching; and S. Benetti, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, on behalf of the European RTN collaboration, report that inspection of a spectrogram of SN 2005V, obtained on Feb. 1.0 UT by J. Aceituno with the Calar Alto 2.2-m telescope (+ CAFOS; range 330-880 nm), shows it to be a type-Ib/c supernova, about 1-2 weeks past maximum. The very red continuum and the deep interstellar Na I D (EW = 0.55 nm) suggest heavy host-galaxy extinction. The spectrum shows P-Cyg lines of Fe II, Na I D, O I, and Ca II. Also, a strong absorption at 620 nm is visible, possibly due to Si II. No clear evidence of He I lines is found.
