I took a spectra tonight of this nova.

It looks like a classic nova past maximum.

Nice target -- just too far

Nice target -- just too far South for me.

I can take low res spectra until it reaches about mag 15. Then it becomes too hard to find to put on the slit and the S/N becomes terrible.

Spectrum from last night. Ha has increased and the P Cyg profile has also increased.
