Pastorello, Dipartimento di Astronomia, Universita di Padova, on behalf of a larger collaboration, report that a spectrogram (range 360-810 nm; resolution 2.2 nm) of PSN J04390804+1131516 = SN 2011gp, obtained on Sept. 30.95 UT with the Ekar-Copernico 1.82-m telescope (+ AFOSC), shows a red continuum, strong H_alpha emission, Na I D, and other lines typical of type-II supernovae. Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra via the "Supernova Identification" code (SNID; Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024), suggests that 2011gp is a couple of months after maximum light.
