# A host galaxy of SN 2003af (11:10:21.69, +23:24:50.9 (J2000.0),
# offset = 4"E, 2"S) is 2MASXi J1110213+232453, a dim galaxy.  The SN
# is also seen on the images taken on Jan. 19 (magnitude was not
# given).  It seems to be a enough bright SN to easily follow-up.

  The CfA team took a spectrum of SN 2003ad on Feb 6.53, which
revealed that it is a type II SN soon after explosion.  The recession
velocity of the host galaxy is measured as 10500 km/s, which suggest
that it is somewhat bright event as a core-collapse type SN.
