Hello all,

Hi Guillaume,
Happy to see a GK Per spectrum from a skilled Star'ex user ;) !
Do you schedule to do frequent observations of GK Per and send your spectra for inclusion in the Aras database ?

Again, clear skies for a few hours on Monday evening, just enough time to take a second spectrum ...

Hi all,

Congratulations to all the observers !!
Finally, a clear sky to observe GK Per...
