Weather cleared again, this time have taken 3 regions with the 300/1200 Newton + LHires III + 600/mm(vis) grating + Orange wratten filter.
O I 7773 + extra features
O I 7773 + extra features
Ca II IRT show outstanding intensities and increased velocities, with Paschen end not relevant:

Interestingly, the 'N I Lit' ("N I from literature") marked wavelengths do not show any correspondence to any real feature. Literature means: Raies_Novae.pdf and 1208.0380.pdf from arxiv.
However, the other 'N I' features I've copy/pasted here in PlotSpectra input are from VSpec (the more intense ones), so the N I needs confirmation by experts.
Also taken a H-alpha region (with 2 unsure features at 7000 and 7100A), sending it to the database.

Bonjour,
Sur les spectres de la Nova vous indiquez qu'ils sont prit depuis l'OHP finalement la spectro party à lieu ? :)

Got one more sky, experimentally taken the 8650-9300A region, looking for other rare lines:
IR end for ccd and grating, telluric holes in 2nd half
IR end for ccd and grating, telluric holes in 2nd half
The upper half is contaminated by tellurics (visible also on reference stars) - besides the IR end is really low on signal.
Nevertheless, it's showing multiple suspects for a weak and wide Paschen.
Another region reveal widened Fe II lines, with a narrow P-Cyg:
FeII widened

Etienne, et bien non malheureusement, la Star Party OHP n'a pas pu ce dérouler. Un petit groupe de 3 à 5 personnes a pu se réunir un bref moment sur place pour de la mise au point spectro (UVEX notamment) ou encore pour discuter administrativement avec l'observatoire et maintenir contacts pour la suite, mais rien ne pouvais ce faire raisonnablement coté stage, et en étant passé sur place, je peux mieux m'en rendre compte. Vivement l'an prochain !

Ok Christian,

Merci pour pour ton message. Si tu as des photos d'ambiances n'hésites pas à les poster c'est toujours agréable à voir et l'OHP.
Amicalement

Very short (900 s) exposure of near-IR region (wind (le Mistral) + bad seeing, near 5 arcec):
