Here is the graph that compares my spectrum of June 22th with the spectrum taken now.

Je viens de faire le spectre de CX Dra et la raie H alpha n'est plus en emission (comme lors de mon dernier spectre du 22 juin 2016)

Salut Olivier

Yes cx dra is a star which has a profile which evolves quite often. In fact it is a Binary star B3+F5III
Here is the summary view for all the BeSS spectra - evolutions from day to day can be observed. Would worth a look at litterature.
