We have obtained low-resolution spectroscopy of the transient TCP
J04291884+4354232 with a 25cm telescope + Alpy600 on Nov 26.05 UT. The
spectrum shows broad Balmer emission lines with deep P-Cyg as typical of a
nova close to maximum brightness.
Photometry obtained with ANS Collaboration telescope 0310 on Nov 25.965
provides V=10.331, B-V=+0.658, V-R=0.482, V-I=0.947 on Nov 26.2 UT, indicating a
modest reddening affecting the nova.
