Hello,

We observed this object on 19 Nov 2009 11:30 UTC with the MDM 2.4m
telescope and CCDS spectrograph. We used 350 l/mm grating and 1.5"
slit that gives resolution of about 5 Angstroms. We covered wavelength
range 3800-6700 Angstroms. The blue part of the spectrum shows broad
Balmer absorption lines with a narrow emission component in the
center. This is similar to dwarf novae in outburst, as seen eg in Fig.
5 of Hessman et al. (1984).

The raw spectra can be viewed at

This report was submitted also to CBAT.

Best regards,
