V1723 AQUILAE = NOVA AQUILAE 2010
Further to the announcement on TA E-Circular 2673, Elena Kazarovets, 
Russian Academy of Sciences, advises that the GCVS designation V1723 Aql 
has been assigned to this nova.

Dave Balam, Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, National Research 
Council of Canada (NRCC); and E. Y. Hsiao and M. Graham, Lawrence 
Berkeley National Laboratory, report that inspection of a low-dispersion 
spectrogram (range 575-696 nm, resolution 0.4 nm), obtained with the 
NRCC 1.82-m Plaskett telescope on 2010 Sept. 14.17 UT, shows a red 
continuum dominated by H_alpha emission (HWZI about 2000 km/s) with a 
P-Cyg profile and strong emission peaks of Na I (589.6 nm), [O I] (630 
nm), and Fe II (multiplet 74) lines at 614.9, 623.8, 624.7 and 645.6 nm.
