Possible nova in Oph PNV J17144255-2943481

Here's the CBAT page - discovered a couple of days ago.

I got a low-res SA100 spectrum last night. Strong blue continuum. Odd sort of line profile - weak Ha emission line, no sign of Hb, but a stronger He/N(?) emission line around 4680. Possibly a He/N type nova close to maximum?
