This spectrum of Nova Cas 2021 was recorded with a LISA spectrograph on a C11 during a short break in generally overcast skies tonight. It shows strong emission lines of the hydrogen Balmer series and He I. There are P Cygni profiles extending to around -2500 km/s relative to the rest wavelength on all emission lines. The spectrum was calibrated in absolute flux using currently recorded B and V photometry which gave V = 7.77+-0.04 and B-V = 0.50.
