Spectroscopy during the current superoutburst is encouraged
(see Christian Knigge's message below).

Clear skies,

 Hi all,

I hope I'm not intruding here, but I just wanted to flag up that we're 
currently still trying to follow the outburst of V627 Peg -- one of the 
closest WZ Sge stars that erupts only every 5 years (at best) and has 
just recently gone off. I'm involved in a campaign to get X-ray, 
ultraviolet and radio coverage of the outburst, alongside, of course, 
optical.

The thing is really bright in outburst -- V ~ 8-10 or so -- so it's 
great for high-cadence photometry or even spectroscopy, for anybody who 
has a spectrograph. For our campaign, any long sequences would be 
useful. Ideally we'd have long runs covering the full outburst in 2 
filters, say B and V.

In terms of spectra, time-resolved spectroscopy would be awesome -- I'm 
particularly interested in the transition from a pure absorption line 
spectrum near plateau to a pure emission line spectrum in quiescence. 
Where and how fast does this happen, and does it correlate with other 
things happening at other wavelengths.

THanks!

Christian
