Higher-resolution spectroscopy needed

In a note I added to Alert Notice 694 on gamma Cas on May 21, I said that Principal Investigator Ernst Pollmann was particularly requesting higher-resolution spectra of gam Cas. However I said the requested resolution was 1000 or higher, when I should have said 10000 or higher. My apologies for this error.

Good observing,
