Redshift: 0.012

Remarks: We report the classification of SN 2026dez as SN Ia. The spectrum shows a best match to SN Ia before peak from SNID (Blondin & Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024). The object is offset from the host galaxy, so the object redshift is found from the SNID best fit of 0.012. Additional follow-up is encouraged.
