This is a very good good spectra well in the range of what is expected with your configuration. Time exposure is the key and you have a better resolution than my eshell observations.
The blue part of H alpha line is very active, completly disappear during two weeks and increase again. Not the same behavior in H beta with a blue wing not yet visible. Slight evolution in Na D, more relative to the progression of the eclipse. So one observation per week of more is recommended.
Good job Paolo.
Did you send your spectra to Cezary and Olivier ?

Thank you for the reply Thierry, I'm happy to hear that the spectrum is valid.
Did you send your spectra to Cezary and Olivier ?
Yes, I sent it to both.
Hope weather let me observe, this and next month are a little bit rainy here...

I'm reading your spectro blog "Summary of AZ cas observations", very nice! The other wavelenght observations (than h-alpha) are very interesting too.

See you soon
Paolo

Paolo,


your spectrum is now in the AZ Cas 2012-2014 eclipse database: http://www.astrosurf.com/aras/surveys/a ... as_tab.htm

The eclipse is starting in about one month but it is required to observe this star now and as frequent as you can... keep up!

All the best to Giovanna & Sara... :-)


Cordialement,
Olivier Thizy
