Vega (Alpha Lyr)

CCD Spectral Profile 3 x 0.5s, 1x1 binning, Star Analyser 100 2008-05-07 23:01hUT (#286046-48)

Spectral Absorption Lines in Vega (Lyra) O2 and H2O lines are due to absorption in the Earth's atmosphere) H-epsilon and H-zeta lines are not visible due to decreasing  sensitivity of CCD chip in violet region and overall low resolution.
