We present echelle spectroastrometric observations of the Z CMa system in the Hα region showing its feasibility and underlining the astrophysical importance of the information stored in the spatial width of the spectra.

The Hα profile dating from 12/1991 presents a “bullet” of blue-shifted emission superimposed on the broad absorption component. We interpret this material as an unresolved bullet of gas at the base of the jet. We show that the jet emission fills in the absorption component of the Hα profile and has a wide range of velocities.
