From A to WR and beyond, month by month?

Hi All,

Please see a ‘Sky for the Month’ with a few spectroscopic targets
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=153470
(Observations forum) that also promotes collaboration.

As an intro, bright A-class stars (south, not just Vega or Vega :-) ) were listed for exploring.
  1. What do you think? Any more to add?

  2. If anyone would please post low-res calibrated profiles of these stars, it may help beginners.
    Adding interesting science comments would be great too.
    Suggest post here, for south celestial objects, or post direct links to a public-access repository.
    (Actually….. 1 low-res plus 1 med-res might demystify and pave the way?)

  3. If anyone would please make available spectral images, it may help interested people,
    who might not yet have gratings, to practise (discover the fun of) processing.
    Could be both colour visual + mono suitable for processing.
