Hello,

Currently a long serie on V694 Mon with LISA+Televue 85. This is a symbiotic star taken from François list:

I had a problem couple of nights ago with the mount interface but it is now fixed by connecting directly the EQ Direct cable to the PC, bypassing the USB hub... Everything ran smoothly last night and tonight.


Cordialement,
Francois Teyssier

Hi Olivier !

An excellent target. V694 Mon is a fascinating star. During outburts the absorption formed in the strong jets can reach 7000 km per second !
See http://www.astronomie-amateur.fr/feuill ... 20Mon.html
It is currently in "low" state with a velocity of about 2000 km/s

Best regards
