Was able to get spectra the last two nights (29th and 30th) with my new echelle. Halpha still dropping.

But not much change at Hbeta.

Comparing three nights.

Great observations Joan, Umberto!
Huge variations again in the yesterday spectrum (July 30). A lot of absorption lines are emphasised. While for the H-beta line there has been a slight change, Fe II lines (but also many other lines) have greatly increased the velocity (blueshifted P-Cyg absorption and broaded emission component).
Measurements are difficult due to the presence of so many absoption lines that, I think, distort the P-Cygni profiles.
The 2d spectrum comparison:
Average V magnitude for yesterday: 8.67 (July 30 ~21 UT).

Congratulations for the excellent monitoring
It seems that the nova has reached its maximum

Salut, j'ai fait une animation avec des spectres pris jusqu'à présent, calibré flux absolu par photométrie de Paolo.
Il souligne que l'animation est interpolée, pour sa réalisation,j'ai utilisé 12 observations qui couvrent la plage où la nova atteint la luminosité maximale.

Bravo Umberto, autant pour le suivi que pour la présentation de l'évolution du spectre.
Bonne continuation pour le déclin vers la phase nébulaire
François

I've not had much chance to take spectra due to rain, but finally managed some spectrophotometry of the now changing and brightening ASASSN-17hx last night. A comparison with my last spectrum of 7th July is also attached.

Hi all, my last observations with Lhires III and 1200 l/mm grating.
July 31, H-alpha region, tellurics removed:
Aug 1, H-beta and Fe II (42):
In the last few days, metal lines increased a lot the P-Cyg RV (not the
Balmer lines). Many P-Cyg profile absorptions are now double (two minima).

Hi,
The H alpha of NOVA Sct 2017, is ascending again, I hope that does it hard.. The minimun, ( at de moment ), is registereg by Tim Lester, on the night 2017 07 30.
Congratulations to all, Umberto, si sta facendo un grande lavoro.
Joan.
