K. Ayani, Bisei Astronomical Observatory (BAO)
obtained a low-dispersion spectrogram (resolution
0.5 nm, range 400-800 nm) of this PNV with the
BAO 1.01-m telescope. It has a prominent and
broad H-alpha emission line (FWHM about
1800 km/s, equivalent width about 23 nm) and a
broad H-beta emission line, which shows that the
PNV is a nova in early phase.
