Nice work Malc! I made it out the same this morning, V=4.5 (04.74 Dec 2013 UT). I've added another spectrum to the Spectroscopy sub-forum, much better than the last. It picks up the H-gamma emission faintly as well as several other lines.
Anyway, here's a link to a gif animation showing the nova this morning & the same field back in May 2013:
