I got a heads up from the discoverers of this SN in IC2536 and was able to take a spectra of it 3 days after it was discovered. It was mag V= 14.59 at the time (7th Jan 13) and was about 10 days before max.
I have now taken another spectra last night 17th and it has certainly changed.
The spectra are below
