We obtained a spectrum with the Double Beam Spectrograph on the Palomar Hale telescope on May 2.28 UT (2x1800s). Only one prominent emission line, H-alpha, is detected in the wavelength range 4500 - 9200 Ang. The gaussian FWHM is 40 Ang, corresponding to approx. 1800 km/s and the center of the line is consistent with the assumed distance to M82 (3.6 Mpc). This supports the hypothesis that this is a classical nova in M82.
