E. Mason, A. Ederoclite, M. Stefanon, and T. H. Dall, European Southern Observatory, Santiago; and M. Della Valle, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, Arcetri/Firenze, report that a spectrum of the new nova, obtained on Oct. 25.3 UT with the La Silla 2.2-m telescope (+ Fiber-fed Extended Range Optical Spectrograph; range 390-900 nm, resolution 48000), is dominated by strong Balmer lines and O I (4) at 844.6 nm. Emission from He I (11 and 10) was also detected. The line profiles are very broad. with an average FWHM of 6600 km/s; such a large velocity is consistent with the typical spectra of recurrent novae at maximum.
