As I had communicated with you earlier, I observed the bright GRB region at the early position which was considerably off. I rushed to our observatory to grab a part of the maintenance time on 3 and 4 april to observe SN 1993J and Nova Cygni 1992 around the HST time. I got the latter near April 4.00UT and 5.00UT in the range 4400AA -- 5200AA at 1.1A per pixel, the best resolution I can manage. I am in the process of reducing the spectra. I will probably send flux calibrated spectra to Anupama for further processing. I found last time that your reply at the mail prompt does not trace back the path and does not reach me. I have asked the local experts to help me. In the mean time can you reply explicitly to tpp@iiap.ernet.in I will be happy if you can add this address to the nova network since I can go to the observatory armed with the latest info. There will be about a day's delay in getting the info through Anupama, and longer if she is not around at IUCAA. I have observed SN1993J 4300-7200AA on April 3. My colleague Mr. Mekkaden has observed in the similar range on that day with a smaller telescope and also over a smaller range at higher dispersion around H alpha on April 1. I am trying to persuade all observers to observe it at lowest dispersion to cover large range. Cheers Tushar Prabhu
