Hi Andy, Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, hovering over spectrum plot in tab 5 seems OK – very noisy, 4 images done in hurry with poor guiding, but think OK. Too excited with ALPY. Will attach plot. Used HD27819 – Miles – A7v – had aimed to try to follow Robin’s earlier set that he posted, but ran out of weather. Used “Predefined Mode” ALPY 600 (Balmer Lines) in Spectral Box of General tab.  This is what appears in log file.

Don’t have ALPY Calibration Module – need coffers to refill for that. Have fashioned external fixed neon bulb in line with slit as per picture on Robin’s website, but didn’t use that – took some sky plus neon today though to play with later.

Am going to do it all over again next clear spell here, but will keep looking at it – still puzzled.
