We report a spectroscopic observation of PSN J19243815+5941471, located at RA= 19:24:38.15 DEC= +59:41:47.1 (J2000). The coordinates are consistent with the Galactic dwarf nova SN 1998di (IAUC 6983 ). A spectrum (range 320-1000 nm) obtained robotically on July 2.44 UT with the FLOYDS spectrograph at Faulkes Telescope North on Haleakala shows a featureless blue continuum consistent with the spectrum of an hydrogen-deficient dwarf nova.
