M. Stritzinger, Las Campanas Observatory (LCO), on behalf of the Carnegie Supernova Project, reports that a spectrum (range 380-920 nm) of 2008in, obtained on Dec. 29.2 UT with the du Pont telecope (+ WFCCD) at LCO, shows it to be a type-II supernova. Adopting a host-galaxy recession velocity of 1566 km/s (Binggeli et al. 1985, A.J. 90, 1681) for the host galaxy, H_alpha and H_beta are measured to be blue-shifted by roughly 9000 km/s. Using of the "SuperNova IDentification" program (Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024), he finds 2008in to be very similar to SN 1999em and SN 2004et between one and two weeks past explosion.
