Mira near maximum, spectra on 03 Feb 2017

The variable star Mira is near maximum, easy naked-eye despite being very close to the Moon tonight and probably getting towards mag 3. Decided to take a spectrum and, well.... wow! Lots going on there, have to do a bit more research on what it all means.

I decided to take two spectra to check on what is real.

Cheers -
