I have finally achieved a spectra of this nova. Getting up at 3am isn't one of my favorite things to do.

It is very bright. Simultaneous photometry yielded V= 4.27
It is easily naked eye from my observatory.
Because it is is so bright I had to use very short exposures to prevent saturation. I took 26x 3 sec exposures and have processed them in Isis.
I have also flux calibrated the result.
It still has PCyg features.
