The chemical composition of Nova Cygni 1975 was determined by a curve-of-growth analysis. A strong excess of helium and the CNO -group abundances and a normal Si abundance was found.

Spectral observations of N Cyg 1975 were begun at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory on 29 August 1975, at 18h 50m UT, one day before light maximum (Boyarchuk et al. 1977). Twelve spectrograms with a dispersion of 4,6 and 12 Å/mm were taken during this night. The spectral type of the Nova was B2 Ia+ and no emissions appeared in the spectrum. During the following night, 10 spectrograms were obtained. The spectral type of the Nova was A2 Ia+ qe, and strong emission lines with P Cygni-type profiles could be detected. Since absorption lines were not observed on 30 August, only the spectrograms taken on 29 August can be used for a curve-of-growth analysis.
