Some quality photos there, very close to how the naked eye sees the
twilight sky, with bright planets and moon, etc.
I also found your spectroscopic observations interesting, didn't
appreciate that amateur level instruments could acquire so much
detail.

Just one bit of suggestion if I may say so: on your page
http://home.freeuk.com/m.gavin/gensp25.htm the charts are clearly
very technically mapped out showing the light curves, etc. for some
stars in Triangulum and Taurus. What I would have found even more
useful on this page is if there were one or two lines of commentary in
*words* describing the observations and interpretation. E.g. something
like "...shows strong metal lines ... the implication is this star has
X% heavy elemental content...implying it may be about to move position
on the H-R diagram...", etc.

Its all very interesting stuff, but it may not spell out the full
message to less experienced people.

Nicely done as ever Maurice,

Thanks for the suggestion. I try to provide an explanation but don't
necessarily repeat it for every observation. I just hope for more
involvement by amateurs - there's no substitute for hands-on
experienceg.
