V4742 Sgr: spectroscopy by M. Fujii (Fe II-class nova)

   Mitsugu Fujii (Fujii Bisei Observatory) reports the following spectrum
taken with the FBSPEC-1 spectrograph attached to a 28-cm telescope.

   Fujii reports that both Halpha (FWHM=1700km/s) and Hbeta are strongly
in emission.  The Fe II series emission lines are also clearly visible,
indicating that V4742 Sgr is an Fe II-class nova (Williams 1992,
AJ 104, 725).  The relatively large Balmer decrement (Halpha/Hbeta = 5.7)
is consistent with the considerable reddening inferred from photometry.
