A. Ederoclite, E. Mason, and T. H. Dall, European Southern Observatory (ESO), report spectroscopic confirmation of Liller's nova (cf. CBET 121, 123) with the 3.6-m ESO telescope (+ HARPS; range 380-690 nm; resolution 100000). The nova appears dominated by very strong H_alpha emission. Low-ionization emissions lines from Fe II (multiplets 27, 28, 37, 38, 42, 48, 49, and 74) and Na I are clearly visible. The Balmer and Fe II lines are flanked by weak P-Cyg profiles that indicate an average expansion velocity of 1100 ± 100 km/s. The Na I interstellar lines appear saturated, thus suggesting a high absorption/reddening.
