Abstract Spectroscopic observations of comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 were carried out at the SOAR 4.1-meter telescope (Chile) on August 12, 2016, when its heliocentric distance was 5.9 au. The spectra revealed CO+ and N 2 + emissions in the cometary coma. The [ N 2 + ]/[CO+] ratio within the projected slit seems to be 0.01. The mean value of the normalized spectral gradient is 12.69 ± 0.06 for spectral range 3448–5260 A.
