Wolf Rayet stars

Post by Rainer Ehlert »

Hi,

Finally found a workflow in order to get this elusive stars into the center of the slit of my LISA mounted on a TOA 130 @ 600 mm focal length and imaging with a QSI 520i B&W CCD camera.

All spectra are esposures of 300 seconds except HIP 3415 which is a stack of 20x 180 s and 7x 300 s exposures.

All fit images were processed in PixInsight using DARK and BIAS frames. Instrument response was applied in RSpec as a reference file which I developped acording to Christian Buil paper.

Calibration was done using a nearby type B7IIIp star (11 persei).

Thanks for looking as well as comments are welcome in order to improve

when the season permits, WR78 and 79 are very nicely close together and bright in the false comet cluster, in the tail of scorpio. I found them serendipitously when doing a spectroscopy demonstration at an outreach night, with a camera and SA100 and drift scaning to show spectral lines more easily. The bright blue line of (i think it was) WR79 was very obvious, then later I noticed there was a second WR star with emission lines in the same frame!

Hi Hamish,

Thanks for the info but my Sky is dead to the South. I have a neighbour with some Palm trees in his garden and I have lost the full south starting at the Celestial Equator downwards South ... :x :x :x
