  We carried out photometric and spectroscopic observations of comet 29P/
Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 at the SOAR 4.1-meter telescope (Chile) on August 12,
2016. This paper presents the results of only spectroscopic analysis. The
spectra revealed presence of CO$^+$ and N$_2^+$ emissions in the cometary coma
at a distance of 5.9 AU from the Sun. The ratio [N$_2^+$]/[CO$^+$] within the
projected slit seems to be 0.01. We have also estimated spectral gradient value
for the comet.
