More observations of SN2011ei

Hello All,

Just a quick update of the progress of SN2011ei

Nidia Morrell of the, Las Campanas Observatory in Chilie said this morning that you can confidently refer to it as a type IIb event- hypernova- because lines are broad. Also the new spectrum better matches 1993J a few days prior to maximum light. She says that more observations will have to be done but a very interesting object.
