H. E. Bond, Space Telescope Science Institute; F. M. Walter, Stony Brook University; and E. Cosgrove and J. Espinoza, Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory (CTIO), report observations of Liller's nova with the SMARTS 1.3- and 1.5-m telescopes at CTIO. A shallow I-band frame obtained with the 1.3-m telescope on Feb. 7.1 UT yields position R.A. = 5h40m44s.20, Decl. = -66o40'11".6 (equinox 2000.0; ± 0".1 in each coordinate, measured relative to five nearby USNO-NOMAD-catalogue stars). A spectrum (range 385-455 nm; resolution 0.16 nm) obtained with the 1.5-m telescope on Feb. 8.1 shows broad, flat-topped emission at H_gamma and H_delta with FWHM about 3900 km/s, with P-Cyg wind absorption features at about -3800 km/s. A similar, weaker feature due to He I 447.1-nm is also present.
