The present observations are part of a search for spectral and radial velocity variations among central stars of planetary nebulae (Méndez 1980). The spectrograms were taken with the image-tube spectrographs of the 1-m and 4-m telescopes at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO). The emulsion was always IIIa-J baked in “forming gas” (N2+H2). The “blue” spectrograms extend from 3600 to 5000 Å at 45 Å mm-1; the “red” ones extend from 5000 to 7000 Å, at 45 Å mm-1 (4-m plates) and 90 Å mm-1 (1-m plates). All plates were calibrated with a spot sensitometer. Seven “blue” and seven “red” spectrograms, all obtained with the 4-m telescope, were traced with the PDS microphotometer of the David Dunlap Observatory. The intensities from each plate were stored in computer memory and were later added together, in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The resulting intensity tracings reveal more details than had previously been observed (Swings and Struve 1941, Aller and Wilson 1954, Andrillat 1957, Aller and Kaler 1964).
