Got up early this morning to catch my first glimpse of this famous

recurrent
Nova and I also managed to find a gap in the clouds to take a spectrum
showing an intense H alpha emission line. (Interestingly, visually the

star
appeared straw coloured rather than red)

Excellent - well done Robin.

Thanks Pete,

I am making the most of it. Could be a long wait for the next outburst.
I have added a slightly higher resolution one from this morning
