Re: WR140 aproaching periastron

I've shot this object as well! Unfortunately, I just barely found-out I missed the interesting lines longer than 5850 angstroms in most of my shots; thanks to the spectra presented here I was able to figure out my equivalent Relco Ne-Ar lines! I'll get these longer wavelengths on subsequent spectra....

Re: Bet Mon A H alpha decrease

Here's my HB/HA spectra taken last night of this interesting quadruple system: http://www.astroimage.info/spectra/Bet%20Mon%20A_12052016_HA&HB2.jpg It was very hard to keep the B&C pair off A, I eventually gave-up and just had to "exclude" Bet B&C Mon off the HA & HB spectr...

Re: 28 Tau ARAS monitoring

To: Ernst,

Thanks for the reference on the probable disk structure of Pleione's disk.
I need to make more observation for this, but it comes up at a difficult time of the
night for me who still works a day job!

Re: 28 Tau ARAS monitoring

Here is my 28 Tau data from last night. I think the 2nd Fe2 line is probably the nearby H2O line, but I kept both together for clarity: http://www.astroimage.info/spectra/HD23862_Ha10312016.jpg Here is the Hb region shot shot the same night: http://www.astroimage.info/spectra/HD23862_Hb10312016.jpg ...

Re: 28 Tau ARAS monitoring

To: Ernst,

Thanks for the confirm with Tim Lester's spectra. I have additional spectra of this star in Hb and Cak regions
on the same date. Will post them Asap and continue to monitor. Glad you were able to download my spectra.

Re: 28 Tau ARAS monitoring

To Ernst, By chance I shot Pleione on 10Oct16, here is the graphic of the Ha region: http://www.astroimage.info/spectra/HD23862_Ha10102016sm.jpg Are these to Fe2 lines real? Its curious that there so prominent in this region. I've formatted the 1D spectral .fit file for BeSS and it can be downloaded...

Re: Sythetic spectra flats?

To: Robin,

Thanks for the comments! I'll post some examples of the poorly made external flats and the masters made
by them. Photometric flats are so much easier to make than spectroscopic flats!
