Hi,
Just arrived in the Observatory and the first thing I did was to change from 23µ slit to the 35µ slit in my LISA.
Then I started to shoot 6 images of 600 seconds on WR 134 and then I went to HD 16523. Later I will post some results.

and here a screenshot of the star in the guiding software

- WR134-001-600s-guide.jpg (296.61 KiB) Viewed 6875 times
Tomorrow I will post HD 16523 images
Thanks for reading and looking

Hello Rainer,
This seems very correct
You have to do is calculate a good instrumental response
For the record:

(I see that Christian has taken the lead on the atlas)
Best regards

Hi Francois,
Thanks for your comments. Here is my WR 134 treated with a CCD Response and compared to Christian Buil's profile (Blue)

Hi,
As noted down I also made HD 16523 which now I know is WR4, Yesterday night I did not find that description, that is why I put WRXXX
Image of the spectrum, profile comparison to Christian's profile and a screenshot from the guide camera

One interesting exercise was comparing 2 series of images. The first series was 6x 600s = 1 hour and the next series was 2x 1800s = 1hour, see image below.

Hello Rainer,
Excellent run !
(you use ISIS for the processing ?)

Hi Christian,
Thanks for the flowers
No, unfortunately I am not yet so far as too use ISIS. This was processed in RSpec

No problem - it is your choice !
Try to compute difference (or ratio) of the two spectra (my and your) for detect possible evolution.
Note some possible spectral calibration error near blue-green region (LISA is not very simple to calibrate with
precision).
