V572 VELORUM
     R. Kaufman, Bright, Victoria, Australia, reports that a low-resolution
spectrogram of V572 Vel was obtained on June 30.440 UT that shows emissions
at H-alpha, H-beta, and H-gamma, as well as Fe II lines -- this after three
nights of a flat spectrum with absorption at hydrogen positions.  The spectrum
looks typical of an Fe II-type classical nova.
     Additional visual magnitude estimates for V572 Vel (cf. CBET 5574):
June 25.949 UT, 5.1 (L. A. L. da Silva, Imbe, Brazil); 26.89, 4.9 (J. G. de S.
