Supernovae are the dominant sources of stellar feedback, which plays an important role in regulating galaxy
formation and evolution. They are widely recognized as end stages of stellar evolution. During the previous three
observing seasons from October 2014 to June 2015 we observed a number of events covering various subtypes
of SNe such as Ia, Ib and IIP starting from nearly 10 days after discovery and lasting upto approximately 200
days. Amongst these we present preliminary light curve and color curves of a type Ib event M12045 in NGC
4080. We compare the absolute magnitudes of M12045 with other Ib SNe. An early time spectrum at +12 days
is also presented and shows the prominent He feature typical of Ib SNe.
