SUPERNOVA 2005at IN NGC 6744
     B. Schmidt and M. Salvo, Australian National University (ANU),
report that a spectrogram (range 320-1050 nm) of SN 2005at (cf. CBET
119), obtained on Mar. 19.77 UT with the ANU 2.3-m telescope (+ DBS),
reveals it to be a type-Ic supernova resembling SN 1994I at
approximately 2 weeks past maximum light.  The relatively red
spectrum is dominated by broad P-Cyg profiles of the Ca II infrared
triplet, Na D line, and what appears to be He I 1083-nm.
