Hi,

I tried to submit the spectral profile of HD9612 and it was unsuccessful because the star was not recognized. I checked and it is in SIMBAD as HD9612.

Hi Dick,

I suspect because it is not in the AAVSO VSX catalogue of variable stars. (The AAVSO database only accepts spectra of variable stars). It is variable spectroscopically though (A Be star) so you could submit it to the BeSS database of Be stars. 

http://basebe.obspm.fr/basebe/

or the BAA spectroscopy database which accepts well calibrated spectra of any astronomical object
