Two new transients were announced recently, both begging for spectroscopic classification:

PNV J17500288+2022264 a new transient at V=13.6 in Hercules

ASASSN-15bp at 12:12:40.41 +04:16:56.21 (ATEL 6981), with V=11.9, which is probably a CV, but a spectra of two would help.

Try out your new gratings!
