E. Y. Hsiao, M. L. Graham, C. J. Pritchet, and D. D. Balam, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Victoria, write that an optical spectrum (range 390-703 nm, resolution 0.3 nm) of this variable was obtained on Sept. 23.16 UT using the 1.82-m Plaskett Telescope of the National Research Council of Canada as part of its targets-of-opportunity spectroscopy program. The transient exhibits a strongly increasing continuum from 600 to 703 nm with a broad and flat-topped emission (HWZI about 2700 km/s, 6.5 nm) at the position of H_alpha, which suggests that this could be a heavily reddened classical (He/N) nova.
