Paper on Constrains on Structure of Triton's atmosphere from observation of Stellar Occultation published

Meanwhile more than 4 years ago Neptun's greatest moon passes the star Gaia DR 2610107911326516992 on October 5h, 2017 with the opportunitiy of observation in Europe nothern Africa and partially in USA. The occulted star had a brightness of V=12.7 mag, wich a allow an observation with relativ small telescopes and exposure times which allows some time resolution..

medium resolution spectra around H-Alpha taken from 23Tau

On January 24th, 2022, I got the chance to perform some observations. One of the targets was 23 Tau. I performed a spectra in medium resolution around the H-Alpha line.

Low Resolution Spectrum of M42

In order to understand which kind of objects can be observed, I try to find out what is the limiting magnetudes for the LHiRes III. To improve the sensitivity I ordered a 150 lines / mm grid which has been used with a 100m slit. Attached please find a spectra of M42 (together with one star of the central Trapez -Region)
