C. Buil, Castanet, France, writes that a spectrogram of the possible nova reported on IAUC 8861, obtained on Aug. 9.91 UT with a 0.28-m telescope (+ Lhires spectrograph; resolution 6800 at H_alpha), shows evident H_alpha with a deep P-Cyg profile and a FWHM of 1750 km/s (± 80 km/s); the intensity of the H_alpha peak intensity is 2.4 times that of the local 670-nm continuum. M. Fujii, Kurashiki, Okayama, Japan, reports that a low-dispersion spectrogram (range 375-833 nm; resolution about 1 nm) of the apparent nova was obtained on Aug. 9.48 UT with a 0.28-m reflector; the spectrum shows H_alpha, H_beta, H_gamma, and He I 447.2-, 471.3-, 492.2-, 501.5-, 587.6-, 667.8-, and 706.5-nm emissions with P-Cyg profiles (H_alpha FWHM = 1900 km/s). These emissions suggest that the variable is indeed a classical nova.
