I have a low resolution spectrum of V603 Aql taken in 2018 to mark the 100th anniversary. At mag 12 it makes a nice target for low resolution spectroscopy, though getting high enough cadence at high SNR to catch the orbital period might be difficult. (This spectrum was 2 hours)

The spectrum can be downloaded from the BAA spectroscopy database

Hello all,
The AAVSO V603 Aql campaign has officially closed. The amount data collected over this is truly impressive. I am sure this collection will prove invaluable to any future studies on this object.
I would like to thank all observers one more for their efforts over the campaign. Your dedication is inspiring.
Kind Regards
John Myles
