H. Maehara, Kwasan Observatory, Kyoto University, writes that a low-resolution optical spectrum (range 400-800 nm, resolution about 200) of this nova was obtained on Oct. 27.42 UT with the 25-cm telescope of the Kwasan Observatory. The spectrum shows an H-alpha emission line that suggests that this object is a classical nova. CCD images of the nova yield the following magnitudes: Oct. 27.460, I_c = 8.66; 27.461, R_c = 9.29; 27.461, V = 9.90; 27.463, B = 11.06. Maehara also forwards the report of a spectrogram obtained by M. Fujii (Okayama, Japan; 40-cm telescope, range 400- 950 nm) on Oct. 27.43, showing H_alpha, H_beta, and Fe II lines with P-Cyg features; the absorption component of the H_alpha line is blue-shifted from the emission peak by 1.5 nm. These features suggest that this object is a classical nova around maximum. Fujii adds that the Na D line has a equivalent width of 0.7 nm.
