Walp, Lick Observatory, report 0.47- to 2.5-micron spectroscopy of V1663 Aql (cf. IAUC 8540, 8544) with the Lick 3.0-m telescope (+ VNIRIS) at Nov. 14.160 UT. The optical spectrum was largely nebular, showing [O III], [N II], H_alpha, and weak He I 587.6-nm, He I 706.5-nm, and [O I]. Weak neutral lines of O I and C I were present. The spectrum showed coronal-line emission of [S VIII], [S IX], strong [Si VI] and [Si VII], weak [Ca VIII], and the unidentified novae lines. The emission lines were flat-topped with minor structure, and their FWHM and FWZI were 2000 km/s and 2600 km/s, respectively. Based on the O I lines, which are about equally produced by Lyman_beta and continuum fluorescence, the reddening is possibly as large as 2 magnitudes in E(B-V).
