Hi Brian, I took a low resolution spectrum with the SGS and 14" on Wednesday night. I have not had time to really analyze it yet but you can see the preliminary result at http://www.xanaduobservatory.com/17pholmes.htm Would like to see your spectrum for comparison.

I am observing at the Lowell 1.1-m with its SSS spectrograph, and will get a spectrum later tonight to help decide about the strength of the emission. \Brian -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list. -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
