Title

Nova Sagittae 2026: Low resolution spectrum

About this image

Low resolution spectrum of the nova showing similar features to those in my last effort on 15th September. A spectrum from the ARAS database on 27th September shows all the feature in the image above with wavelength calibration. And a spectrum by David Cejudo in the BAA database shows part of the spectrum at higher resolution on 29th September.

Field of view 35 x 30 arc minutes with north right. Now it's down below mag 12 it's a very crowded star field...hence the lowest resolution prism was used.
