Yeah I found them, thanks Ken. There wasn't anything there of use. I'm part way through browsing Kaler again.

The other thing I found the other day was a Molecular Spectrum database... there heaps of data in the IR band, but I'll have to find the URL (I found it after giving up on the NIST Moleular database) and work through it methodically for the visible / near IR band. I found I could get simulated spectra out of it, but the data is bogged down with lots of extra stuff that we don't need to construct an artificial spectrum for Vspec. I need to spend more time working out the best way to extract what I need.

I suspect it is a telluric line, but why it appears in this spectrum and not the others defies me. I need to repeat it for that reason.

Al.
