Hi guys,
I'm new to this V1369 Cen discussion because, until last night, this nova hadn't risen above my urban obstacles to be seen by me at a convenient time.
I've only covered a 150A range (4595-4745A) at R=8700 (SNR~100), using a Lhires III with 2400 grating on a 0.28m scope, as that is where I'm working at for two other long running pro-am projects.
Given that one seldom sees 'high' res nova spectra in this HeII area it may be of interest to researchers and it is interesting to note the triangular profile ... which tends to question statements that this is a classic FeII nova. It is impossible to say if any NeIII or HeII is hidden in this zone but it is most likely that many of the FeII 37 and 38 multiplets are present ... which leads me to suggest this may be a hybrid (FeII b) nova. I've not followed the discussions of this nova here, or on other forums, so this topic may already have been well covered. Unless there are requests for further coverage of this wavelength (unlikely) this is probably my first and last spectra of this nova .. unless I add it to my echelle target list.
Cheers,
