Emissions have appeared & spectra have now been obtained, and it appears to be an FeII-type classical nova, congratulations Andrew! Waiting on a CBET to be issued now. I got another poor low-res optical spectrum tonight which showed H-beta & H-alpha emissions but it's not worth putting up. Just a little too faint for my set-up unfortunately.

The nova has also been identified as a gamma ray emitter, one of only a very small number of novae to be shown to do this, so it will be of great interest to astronomers.

Cheers -
