We report on follow-up spectroscopy of the high-amplitude variable star in Leo (see Christensen et al., CBET#746) with the COSMIC spectrograph mounted on the Hale-5m telescope at Palomar Observatory. Observations were performed on UT 2006 November 21.55 and covered a wavelength range from 4000 to 8200 Angstrom with a resolution of ~8 Angstrom. The spectrum shows a very blue continuum and prominent Balmer absorption lines (H_epsilon to H_alpha) together with a weak HeI P-Cygni profile around 5876 Angstrom.
