Ulisse Munari, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, Padova Astronomical Observatory, writes that a spectrogram (0.23 nm/pixel; range 400-750 nm) was obtained of this variable with the Asiago 1.22-m telescope on Oct. 21.82 UT. The object has a very red continuum, with strong Na I 589.3-nm and Ba II 649.6-nm in absorption, and a weak and sharp H_alpha in emission with a possible very narrow absorption component blue-shifted by 250 km/s with respect to the emission line. The spectrum looks more like that of an outbursting pre-main-sequence young stellar object than that of a nova caught before maximum brightness. http://tinyurl.com/953jdfl.
