We present optical spectra of the "Teacup AGN", at a redshift of 0.085, discovered in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The spectra were obtained with the Lowell Observatory 1.8-m Perkins telescope. The SDSS image shows a "handle" of ionized gas extending out to 5'' (8 kpc) away from the nucleus of the galaxy. Our optical spectra reveal a myriad of emission lines resembling those from a typical Seyfert 2 galaxy. We use dereddened emission-line ratios to investigate the physical conditions in the gas and to estimate the luminosity of the hidden AGN.
