MASTER OT J034412.48-263556.5 (Lipunov et al., ATEL #10929 ; Lipunov et
al. GCN #22102) was observed at Lijiang 2.4m telescope for this
transient, which shows blue and featureless continuum like that
of GRB170817A (Kilonova) but much brighter.
We used YFOSC+G3 to get the spectrum.
The second Spectrum was taken at 2-m aperture optical-infrared telescope,
the Himalayan Chandra Telescope (HCT) with HFOSC (Hanle Faint Object
Spectrograph Camera https://www.iiap.res.in//iao/hfosc.html ) at Indian
Astronomical Observatory https://www.iiap.res.in//iao/iao.html
