Nova Del 2013, c'est repartis pour un tour

[Paolo Berardi]

Paolo, are you a peculiar feature at 3886 A in your actual data ?

Christian, this is yesterday spectrum:



I don't know if 3886 A small peak is a feature already known (perhaps we can see it in Eric and Robin spectra).

This evening totally cloudy here...

Ciao
Paolo

Qui peut observer ce soir en haute résolution ? En ce qui me concerne la météo n'est pas spécialement encourageante, mais celà peut encore changer.

[Thierry Lemoult]

La météo n'est pas bonne non plus chez moi. Mais je serais à l’affût d'une trouée après les averses.

[Eric Barbotin]

Il y a encore quelques nuages en Charente mais ça tend à se dégager. A priori, ça sera bon à un moment ou un autre.
Au programme, CaII et retour sur H beta ; si je suis courageux je ferai peut être aussi un saut sur H alpha. Va falloir faire plein de flats...

[Robin Leadbeater]

I have clear skies here at the moment, set up with the LHIRES 1200 and waiting for it to get dark. I have a dilemma though. If others are clouded out, what area (s) of the spectrum should I cover as a priority?

In his last message, Steve said :
"In Nova del 2013, it seems that the CN has not appeared but it may yet
and there's every reason to continue at all resolutions"

You hava also NaI D region

Bonnes observations

[Robin Leadbeater]

OK, I will start at Ca II HK, this is easy because it is where I stopped last night. I will then go to Na I D

Cheers
Robin

[Olivier GARDE]

Finally, no clouds tonight, so I would be on the nova with the eshel.

[Eric Barbotin]

The sky is totally blue ; I will start at CaII H&K then H beta. If I can, I'll make a stop on NaD² and maybe H alpha.
I wonder if I cannot go to OI à 7773 ; it will be fun to try it !

Hello,

there is a good chance that we can get some spectra of Nova Del 2013 from the IAC80 telescope equipped with an eShel on Teide. Here a preview:

In case of bad weather over all of Europe this might be very valuable.
