V392 Per is a known Galactic Z-Camelopardis type dwarf nova (DN), characterised by luminosity standstills in its light curve. On 29th April 2018, V392 Per underwent a classical nova (CN) eruption, joining a handful of cataclysmic variables observed to experience both DN outbursts and CN eruptions. One day post-eruption a strong gamma-ray signal from V392 Per was detected by the Large Area Telescope on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, adding to the small but growing population of gamma-ray bright novae. The emission mechanism of this gamma-ray emission is not understood, but is proposed to be related to shocks due to the interaction of the nova ejecta with either the accretion disk or circumbinary material. In this talk, I will present panchromatic photometric and spectroscopic observations of V392 Per and discuss their significance.
