Hi John,
I dont use BASS but below are the lines used by ISIS from a typical run. (Given the pixel size and the postion of one strong line it finds them automatically and produces a 4th order fit with RMS 0.25A typically.) The fit deteriorates slightly beyond 3900A but ISIS can also include Balmer lines in the violet to improve the fit there
If your lines are blurred at the violet end it could be worthwhile trying a tweak of the focus. The ALPY optics are designed to give excellent performance into the UV but with some compromise at the IR end beyond ~7000A
If you have not come across this already Richard Walker’s list is also a good one for identifying lines to use in the lamp spectrum (not all lines may be present or may differ in intensity though from lamp to lamp, for example H leaks out through the glass over time. Also watch out for blends at lower resolutions)
