SN in m82 :-((

[Gasman]

Hi folks

Looks like everybody did better than I last night. Seeing was terrible from York although the SN was very clear in the guide ccd failed miserably to get a decent spectrum of it!. After trying a 15min exposure to get any sort of image I think I`ve got some reflected street light spectra instead

Tried to get something out of Rspec but didn`t bother to calibrate it, better luck next time!!

You did a LOT better than I did: solid cloud here

Hi Steve,

You have a harder job trying to the get an 11mag target on your slit. Which I assume requires guiding, which is a pain when its cloudy. Much easier for us with the sa100!

The data may be useful after all?

cheers

Steve,

There appears to be light pollution in your spectrum but some of the supernova my spectrum is similar.

Hi guys

John - I agree thinking of putting my SA100 back on my ED80 for such nights when the Alpy won`t play ball, that SA-HD looks promising that Robin is testing!

Jack yes I think I`ve picked up some street light spectra bouncing off the haze ;-( maybe caught a bit of the SI dip but little else?
