Description:
    We analyse  CCD spectroscopic material obtained  at the Haute Provence
    Observatory between 1990 and  1993,  covering  the  wavelength  region
    380-1100mm.  320 emission lines were measured and identified. Of these
    about  40% correspond to permitted or forbidden lines of ionized iron.
    Many forbidden  lines (20% of  the total) are  present, including many
    classic nebular lines.  We also  provide a  comparison of  our results
    with  those of other authors. The equivalent width measurements permit
    to follow in  detail the variations  of the lines  of several elements
    over the three years  and to  compare them  to variations  reported by
    other  authors. On our  material the largest  variations correspond to
    helium,  which varied by a factor of two and are not in phase with the
    variations of hydrogen. Many helium lines exhibit P Cyg type profiles,
    indicating  strong outflow of matter from the star. The lines of other
    elements follow either the variations of the helium or of the hydrogen
    lines. The radial velocity varies over the years, with an amplitude of
    more than 60km/s.
