D. Nogami and J. Kuriyama, Kyoto University; and I. Iwata, National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, write that a low- resolution (R about 500) spectrum (range 400-800 nm), taken of the new variable on Mar. 8.794 UT with a 1.88-m telescope (+ KOOLS) at the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory, shows a blue continuum with strong Balmer and Fe II lines having prominent P-Cyg profiles. The FWHM of the emission component of H_alpha is about 1000 km/s, and the minimum of the H_alpha absorption is blueshifted from the emission peak by about 880 km/s. These features suggest that this object is indeed a classical nova before or around maximum.
