Nova in Cen with my LISA
Dear All
I received my new LISA spectrograph last Friday and was able to use it that night with a rare clear night.
I decided to try to take a spectra of the second ?nova recently discovered in Centaurus (TCP J14250600-5845360) as there hasn't been any spectra reported of it yet. I have been taking BVRI photometry measurements of it and it was about V = 11.5 but brighter in R and I.
I was happy with the outcome. I took 5 x 300 sec exposures with my VC200L and processed them in Isis.
The result is attached. It shows very bright Ha band.
The dat file is here if anyone wants to look at it.
