"Only rarely is it given that a mortal may obtain coude' spectra of two novae near maximum in one night." -- Brian Warner It happens that I will have an observing run on the Australian National University's 74" (1.9-m) telescope and coude'-echelle spectrograph, from February 20 to March 6. Brian, you are a genius. My very best complements to Mr. Takamizawa, as well. Taichi, Daisaku, Lazlo, and the rest of you: keep up the excellent work, and please monitor these two stars (N Aql 1995 and N Cir 1995) carefully. Now all we need to worry about is: will Astro-2 observe them? =========================================================================== Fred Ringwald ... to further the progress of science, Physics Dept., Keele University to guide to an understanding Keele, Staffordshire, ST5 5BG of the majesty of the heavens, England to emphasize that Phone: 44-782-621111 ext. 3494 under the great celestial firmament, Fax: 44-782-711093 there is order, interdependence, and unity.
