oh man, 12.6 is just a bit hard for my setup.
The one in smc (Asassn-qv19) has now faded quite a bit, and the latest spectra i got on friday night is a big emission line in Ha and faint continuum. Hbeta now only just above continuum. I will append to my other posts and add reprocessed spectra for the other 5 days I managed to get data.
