I’m still taking spectra of the nova whenever possible and the latest one from last night seems to suggest that the helium lines are coming back.  Can anyone confirm this?  I’m no expert on novae but I can’t remember seeing one like this before.  Can anyone explain what it’s doing and has this sort of behaviour been seen before? And it appears to be creeping up in magnitude again!

Thanks,

Mike.
