The nova continues to evolve.
Attached is an image from last night 2/9/13 compared to 30/8/13.
The hydrogen lines are now very strong and continue to strengthen.
I have also attached a comparison of the first image I took on 15/8/13 compared to last night. You would almost think they are different stars as the spectrum has completely changed with the evolution of the nova.
I have expanded the y axis to show the earlier spectra more clearly but the Ha intensity goes up to 45 for last night spectra.
Cheers

Terry
