I like Andrew’s idea of calibrating using the lamp and then ofsetting the spectrum to match the star lines. This is similar to what is done with the LHIRES where telluric lines at H alpha are used to correct for any offset. You would have to consider the RV of the star though and for highest accuracy perhaps the Heliocentric correction.
Cheers
