The 2008 nova of V1309 Sco has been determined to have resulted from a stellar merger between a K giant and a late-type dwarf. This is the first stellar merger ever to be observed during and soon after the event. Mergers are thought to be a significant influence in the evolution of both open and globular clusters as well as the centers of spiral galaxies, but mergers remain a poorly-understood phenomenon because there has been no opportunity before now to study one in progress. No spectra in visible light have been published of the remnant star of V1309 Sco except for a few spectra obtained several months after the merger. Those spectra showed that the merger remnant had many strong emission lines, some of which were anomalous, and that the remnant was evolving dramatically in spectral type. It is important to continue to study the remnant spectroscopically because the merger process and its aftermath are poorly understood. The exact nature of the star which the remnant will become is not known or even theoretically predicted. Visible-light spectra will let us determine the current apparent spectral type. N-body merger models, as well as infrared observations we have obtained after the event, suggest that considerable mass was lost during the merger. Visible-light spectra will help us to learn how much mass was lost, and will help us look for possible identifying clues which could be used to determine whether other novae might have resulted from mergers. We wish to obtain four exposures (not counting cr-splits) of the same star. We have allocated one visit per orbit. We are going to an offset star about 2.5 arcminutes distant before going to the target because the target is not the brightest object in the peakup field.
