E. Kankare, R. Rekola, and S. Mattila, University of Turku, report that a spectrum of PSN J22415183+3458074 = SN 2012go was obtained (as a part of a NOT Science school) on Nov. 19.0 UT with the Nordic Optical Telescope (+ ALFOSC; range 320-910 nm, resolution 1.6 nm). Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra using the "GELATO" code (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A.Ap. 488, 383; available at https://gelato.tng.iac.es/login.cgi) and "Supernova Identification" code (SNID; Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) suggests that SN 2012go is a normal type-Ia supernova at a redshift of about 0.03. The best matches were found with the spectra of SN 2002bo at a few days before maximum light.
