Here is a spectrum of Nova Cas 2021 taken on 6th August with a LISA (R~1065) and calibrated in absolute flux using a concurrently measured V magnitude of 7.70. There are broad emission lines of H I Balmer and He I, all with P-Cygni absorption dips, and weak Fe II emission lines with double peaks. The H-alpha line is so strong that exposures had to be kept to 40 sec to avoid saturating. Further information about the spectrum and more plots can be found on the ARAS Forum at
