Molto Buono, Umberto:
Tu été le premier.
Amicalement, Joan.

Merci Joan, je vis maintenant les spectres à basse résolution sur Bess qui ne sont pas différents de ce que mon.
Je ne pense pas que ce outburst, je présente mes excuses pour l'erreur de jugement.
Cordialement Umberto

Good shot Umberto, but unfortunatly a false alert (despite an ATel !)
All the best,
François

The star Del Sco, in the last night.

Here is a spectra of del SCO taken last night with a CDK17 telescope, JTW L200 spectroscope, and ST-10xme CCD:

The calibrated with neon lamp and instrument corrected spectrum shows a nice fit of HA & Hb emission lines and a the He I line as
well as Hy and Hdelta absorption lines. The heliocentric velocity is +6.73 km/s and del SCO's space velocity is -6 km/s according
to the Simbad database. The object was quite low (>2 air mass) when shooting the 9x30 second exposure(s) at 1x1 binning, so my
telluric O2 lines are very prominent.

Hello James,
It looks like your continuum is a bit eventful, mostly in blue part.
Is it real shapes from star?
Here are some low resolution spectra taken from arasbeam.free.fr :
SNR problem?
IR correction problem?
Ripples?

Hi James,
I agree with Benji, there does seem to be some unexpected ripples in the blue half of the spectrum. Did you make a flat correction? (This is particularly important with some Kodak CCD based cameras which can have strong ripples in the wavelength response which show up in low resolution spectra)

No flat was used. The air mass was low (>1.9) and that part of the sky has pretty bad LP.
When shooting, especially after using neon lamp, I do 10-18 flush (dark frames) to purge
Any remaining after glow on the chip. I didn't see "ripples" on any other object's spectra
That night.
James
p.s. I'll post one or two more del SCO spectra taken when higher in the sky.
