We report an optical spectrogram of ASASSN-14jv (ATel #6676, #6680),
obtained on November 10.7 UT with a 23 cm Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and
Lhires III spectrograph configured for low-resolution (range 420-710 nm,
resolution 1 nm). The strong blue continuum, a weak and narrow emission for
H-alpha and other Balmer lines in broadened absorption suggest that the
transient is a dwarf nova outburst.
