C. Boeche and U. Munari, Asiago Observatory, report on spectroscopy (range 372-491 nm; disperson 0.23 nm/pixel) of the possible nova reported on IAUC 8190, using the Asiago 1.22-m telescope on Aug. 31.97 UT under somewhat-cloudy conditions: "The Balmer series is weakly in emission down to H_epsilon, and the line width is not appreciably larger than the instrumental profile (300 km/s). The Balmer-line profiles show a weak absorption component blueshifted by 500 km/s and a second emission peak redshifted by 650 km/s with respect to the main emission line. The well-developed absorption spectrum closely match that of a normal F2 supergiant, with normal intensity for s-element lines of Ba II (455.4 nm) and Sr II (407.8, 421.6 nm). A definitive classification with classical novae must await future spectroscopic and photometric development."
