Observations of Supernova SN 2018zd

We present photometric and spectrocsopic observations of SN2018zd, carried out at 9 telescopes, including the 6-m telescope of SAO RAN and the 2.5-m telescope of the Caucasus Mountain Observatory of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute. The dates and magnitudes of maximum brightness and the parameters of the light curves were determined. The photometric characteristics of SN2018zd allow to classify it as a transition event between SNe II-P and SNe II-L. The peculiar features of SN2018zd are sufficiently bright maximum luminosity M V = - 18_.^m0, combined with low expansion velocity, large interval between maximum light and the start of exponential tail, slow reddening of colors ( U − B ), ( B − V ) after maximum light.
