   So it is a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with a moderate inclination
(not so high enough to show large-amplitude early superhumps).
But Halpha is stronger than in WZ Sge!

   Please try one full-orbit spectroscopy (time resolution several
minutes, total duration 2 hours).  You will be able to obtain
a spiral pattern like:

   If you can follow the object on several nights, you will be
able to see how the spiral pattern (the result of the 2:1 resonance)
evolves.  Please try.

   If you are not familiar with the 2:1 resonance, see:

http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2002A%26A...383..574O

   Please include He II 4686.  This line will be a good tracer
for this stage of WZ Sge-type outburst.
