Further to IAUC 8990, W. Liller writes that spectra were obtained by F. M. Walter (Stony Brook University) with the SMART 1.5-m telescope at Cerro Tololo, showing that QY Mus is a typical "Fe II"-type nova. On 2008 Dec. 24.3 UT, the H_alpha emission line (FWHM = 3.2 nm) was seen to peak at about 8.5 times the intensity of the underlying continuum with a clearly defined wind absorption feature at -1650 km/s (652.7 nm), and the [O I] lines at 630.0 and 636.4 nm were present. On Dec. 28.3, in addition to strong Balmer emission lines (most showing deep wind absorption features), the Fe II lines of multiplets 42, 48, 49, 57, and 58 were prominent, some with blueshifted P-Cyg absorption features. Tech Pan magnitudes by Liller for QY Mus: 2008 Dec. 18.346, 9.3 (V); 2009 Jan. 7.34, 9.5 (orange filter).
