A spectrum (410-950 nm) of the recent M31 nova candidate, M31N 2008-10a, was obtained by John Caldwell and Chevo Terrazas with the 9.2m Hobby-Eberly Telescope (+ Marcario Low-Resolution Spectrograph) on 2008 October 18.3 UT, approximately 11 days post discovery. The spectrum is dominated by relatively narrow Balmer and Fe II emission features (FWHM H&alpha ~ 1200 km/s) superimposed on a flat continuum.
