SPECTRUM LOG:

     JD times for the SN 1990N spectra of various observers.

     Bmax: 1990jul09.40 +/- 0.14 UT (JD 2448081.90 +/- 0.14)  (riess2005).
           1990jul10.2 +/- 0.5 (JD 2448082.7) B (lira1998).

     Some of the spectra are observer frame and some are rest frame.

     In some cases, we have had to estimate the JD.
