We present the spatially resolved velocity structure of the V723 Cas nova shell. Strong coronal emission lines of [Si VI] and [Al IX] are present in the expanding shell. Brγ is detected but not spatially resolved which implies that hydrogen recombination emission is absent in the nova shell. The PSF/continuum subtracted data cubes reveal the morphology of the nova shell in 3 dimensions. The shell is slightly elliptical with a semi-major axis of 0.35 arcsec or 1200 AU using a distance of 3.5 kpc. We selected V723 Cas in this pilot study of nova shells since it showed double-peaked coronal line emission in NIRSPEC spectra from 2004 (presented here). Additionally, the shell has continued to expand since it was unresolved in a 1998 HST+NICMOS study. The intervening 7 years and coronal emission made V723 Cas an ideal candidate for the unprecedented spatial resolution in the infrared provided by OSIRIS with LGSAO on Keck II.
