H. Naito and S. Narusawa, Nishi-Harima Astronomical Observatory (NHAO), report that they obtained a low-dispersion spectrum (range 410-670 nm; resolution 1600 at H_alpha) of N Sco 2007 on Feb. 5.87 UT with the 2.0-m NAYUTA telescope (+ MALLS). The spectrum shows a smooth continuum with many lines (H_alpha, H_beta, He I 492- and 501.5-nm, and Fe II 516.3-nm) with P-Cyg profiles, which suggests that the variable is indeed a classical nova caught near maximum light. The FWHM of the H_alpha emission is 400 km/s, and its absorption minimum is blueshifted by 480 km/s from the emission peak (measured by a Gaussian fitting).
