SUPERNOVA 2006eo IN MGC -03-12-15
     R. J. Foley, D. A. Perley, D. Kocevski, and J. S. Bloom, University
of California, Berkeley, report that inspection of CCD spectra (range
330-920 nm), obtained on Sept. 21 UT with the Keck I 10-m telescope (+ LRIS),
shows that SN 2006eo (cf. CBET 607, IAUC 8743) is of type II in the nebular
phase.  Strong H_alpha emission is present with a FWHM of 5300 km/s.  There
is no indication of [O I] 630.0-nm, suggesting that it has recently become
nebular.
