It is a # probably member of the Virgo cluster. The Las Campanas spectrum # taken on Mar. 3.28 shows that it is highly reddened type II SN.

There is a # bright (mag about 11) about 1'.3 due west of NGC 5374. The Las # Campanas spectrum taken on Mar. 3.35 revealed that it is young SN # II with a blue continuum (reddening is negligible). It shows a weak # H_alpha line and a He I 587-nm line, which suggest that it is # possibly a type-IIb event. The discovery magnitude is consistent # with one for the normal gravitational collapse event.

The ># expected maximum for typical SN Ia is about the discovery magnitude. The Las Campanas spectrum (Mar. 2.30) shows that it is young type II SN. Also this SN shows a weak H_alpha line and well-defined He I 587-nm line, which suggest that it is possibly a type-IIb event. And it is very luminous as a core-collapse event.
