F. M. Walter, State University of New York at Stony Brook; H. E. Bond, Space Telescope Science Institute; and A. Pasten, SMARTS and Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory (CTIO), confirm that V1188 Sco is a classical nova near or before peak. A 0.31-nm- resolution spectrum (range 570-690 nm), taken on July 28.16 UT using the SMARTS/CTIO 1.5-m RC spectrograph, shows broad H_alpha (FWZI = 4000 km/s, EW= -3.5 nm) and Fe II (74) lines in emission atop a photospheric continuum with absorption lines. He I 587.6-nm appears in absorption; the Na D line (EW = 0.5 nm) shows three absorption components. The peak of the H_alpha emission is blueshifted by about 250 km/s; the P-Cyg absorption is blueshifted by about 900 km/s. There may also be an absorption feature at +350 km/s.
