Weidong Li at the KAIT responsed that the reported magnitudes were correct. Surely it should be a quite subluminous SN Ia. The monitoring how it will decline in these weeks would be highly important for understanding the nature of subluminous SNe Ia.

A 91bg-like object would be atoub 15.5 near maximum, and decline 2 magnitude in 3 weeks, so it would be about 17.5 now, which agrees with my reported magnitudes. -Weidong
