T. de Jaeger, S. Gonzalez and J. Anderson, Universidad de Chile; and G. Pignata, Universidad de Andres Bello, on behalf of the Millennium Center for Supernova Science, report on optical spectroscopy (range 380-900 nm) of PSN J23255963-8154333 = 2012ah (cf. CBET 3028) that was obtained on Feb. 22.2 UT with the Magellan II Clay 6.5-m telescope (+ LDSS3) at Las Campanas Observatory. Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra using the "Supernova Identification" code (Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) gives best matches with type-Ia supernovae a few days past maximum light. Using the host-galaxy recession velocity from NED (Koribalski et al. 2004, A.J. 128, 15) of 3718 km/s, the velocity of the Si II 635.5-nm feature is estimated to be approximately 11000 km/s.
