V745 Sco - Request for spectra

Steve Shore has sent me this email:

PLEASE, if possible (and urge others to go for
this too) try to get V745 Sco. This is a symbiotic-like recurrent nova
that was last in outburst in 1989 and observed in the UV at that time.
It is about 45 degrees from the Sun, so a hard case, but any spectra
will be really (!!) important, even low resolution. This will have
very broad lines at first and those will last for only, at most, about
a week or two so it's very important that spectra be obtained ASAOP.
The announcement arrived a few hours ago.

THANKS VERY MUCH!!!

steve
