Checked my email just after packing up for the night…so I got everything out again!!!
Using the 30cm F/3.6 astrograph a wide field shot of the nova first followed by a quick look spectrum with the 20cm, 9 degree objective prism taken at 20260825.916. Both fields ~112 x 75 arc minutes with north up but slightly offset from each other. The spectrum just about shows the P-Cygni profile, which is easiest to see in H beta, but not as clearly as Robin’s result. All features relatively weak at this stage as noted in the follow up ATel#18009.
