    So you`ve managed to go one better then Nick and get them to actually turn the things off albeit at 1am ;-).

    Yes it will be interesting to see how Peter and his council get on!.

    Hi John

    Think our posts just crossed. I remember most of the tutorials on spectroscopy recommended the standard spectro `candle` Vega for correcting but as you may have seen in my post above I`m still a bit unsure if I should be using a fresh correcting spectrum for each star, logic would assume that we should for more accurate correction the thing is finding a star of similar class to the one you are observing within a near enough distance away which all takes time and with the British weather we `enjoy` time is not always a luxury we can be sure of!

    cheers

    Hi Andy

    Thats pretty cool as yours was taken with the Lhires III and there doesn`t seem a great deal of difference between the two!. Quite pleased with that :-).

    BTW I tend to use the same spectrum for correcting all the spectra taken that night and not sure if I should really be taking a matching spectrum for each star, is that the way you do it??

    best
