Reccurent Nova RS Ophiuchus in outburst - Spectrum

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)

Well done Robin - beat me to it [well no - hazed over in SE sky before dawn]!

Pete - did you make the SAGAS Meet at the Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium yesterday? We left a little early.

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
