F. M. Walter, Stony Brook University, reports that PNV J17395600-2447420 is an "Fe II"-type nova. A red spectrogram (range 570-690 nm; 0.31-nm resolution) obtained on May 23.41 UT with the SMARTS 1.5-m RC spectrograph at Cerro Tololo shows H-alpha in emission with an equivalent width of -60.0 nm and a FWZI of ± 3300 km/s. No wind absorption is evident. The Fe II multiplet 74 lines are in emission. The nova is very red. The interstellar Na D lines have an equivalent width of 0.29 nm. BVRI/JHK photometry with the SMARTS 1.3-m Andicam imager on May 23.312 yields V = 11.7, B-V = +1.3, and K = 6.4. The field is highly extincted; the brighter stars within about 2' of the nova typcally have colors B-V around +2 to +3, and J-K around +1.
