Perley (Dark Cosmology Centre, Copenhagen) report on behalf of a lager collaboration.\n\nWe report spectroscopy of the iPTF counterparts iPTF-17bq and iPTF-17ee.  The data were obtained with the SPRAT spectrograph of the Liverpool Telescope, La Palma, on the night of 2017 January 08 with a resolution R=350 and a wavelength range of 400-800nm.\n\nIn both cases the transient could not be clearly distinguished from the host galaxy in our spectra, which were obtained in poor (~2 arcsec) seeing.\n\niPTF17-bq shows a galaxy spectrum with redshift (SNID) z=0.059 and AGN-like emission lines.\niPTF17-ee shows a galaxy spectrum with redshift (SNID) z=0.085.\n\n\nDisclaimerNone",
