Hi All
I have no been able to take any spectra for ages due to persitent bad weather. It cleared somewhat last night and I was able to take 30 mins of AT2022bqp.
I don't have any earlier spectra to compare it too but it doesn't seem to have changed a lot compared to the posts on the thread.

Good to have you back online Terry.

I've taken a few spectra of this target last week and I reached the same conclusion - there isn't much progression as yet. I'm taking another data set this evening - this time concentrating on the UV and blue. I'll post my results for comparison

This is certainly a very slow nova. The ASASSN light curve shows it is still rising slowly but steadily.
