Nova V705 Cas was discovered on 1993 December 7, several days before maximum light. The light curve indicates that t2 ≃ 40 d (see e.g. [4]), characteristic of dust-forming novae. The light curve went into decline on day 58, indicating the formation of an optically thick dust shell. IR spectra have been obtained regularly since outburst using the cooled grating spectrometer CGS4 on the United Kingdom InfraRed Telescope (UKIRT). We present here the results of ongoing IR spectroscopic monitoring of this nova.
