SUPERNOVA 2010al IN UGC 4286
     M. Stritzinger, N. Morrell, and M. M. Phillips, on behalf of the Carnegie
Supernova Project, communicate that they have obtained a spectrum (range
350-920 nm) of 2010al (cf. CBET 2207) with the Du Pont Telescope (+ WFCCD)
at the Las Campanas Observatory on Mar. 20.1 UT.  The spectrum shows He II, N
III, and H I emission lines at a redshift of z = 0.0161 superposed on a blue,
featureless continuum.  The spectrum resembles the earliest-epoch spectrum
of SN 1983K (Niemela et al. 1985, Ap.J. 289, 52).
     E. Cozzi, Mozzate, Italy, measures mag 16.5 and the following position
from an unfiltered CCD image taken on Mar. 15.886 UT with a 0.36-m reflector
(limiting mag 17.9):  R.A. = 8h14m15s.92, Decl. = +18o26'17".4 (equinox
2000.0; uncertainty +/- 0".4).
