Magnitude 14.5 is relatively bright for new SNe, and we wouldnt normally have any trouble obtaining a spectrum from them for a 14th mag object because one that bright is usually of great interest to them anyway.

Tom Boles in the UK also enquired about SN identification. Christian Buil has been able to take spectra of very dim SNs with the same equipment as me but he is much more skilled than me.

Contact me if you ever need assistance and I'll do my best. One think I can do that the pros can't is regular follow up as telescope time is less of a premium.
Cheers
Terry
