Further unfiltered CCD magnitude estimates for 2011ae: Feb. 5.46 UT, [18.5 (CSS); 13.41, 15.3 (remotely with the LB3 0.35-m telescope at Rodeo, NM, U.S.A.). Drake writes that the presumed host galaxy has redshift z = 0.0060. The object was given the designation PSN J11544925-1651436 when posted by Drake on the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage, and based on the spectroscopy below is here assigned the final designation SN 2011ae.
