A spatially discriminating optical streaked spectrograph is employed as a plasma diagnostic on the Nova laser. The instrument, which makes use of a spectrometer coupled to a streak camera with CCD readout, observes a small region of Nova target plasmas with a Cassegrain telescope. It yields simultaneous temporal and spectral information about emission and scattered light from the small plasma region. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
