One of the most luminous stars in our Galaxy (Humphreys 1988) HR 8752 = HD 217476 (G0 Ia), is similar in some respects to Luminous Blue Variables. Studies by several authors (Sargent 1965; Smoliński 1971; Smoliński et al. 1977; Stickland and Harmer 1978; Lambert and Luck 1978; Lambert et al. 1981; Smoliński et al. 1986; Sheffer and Lambert 1987) have contributed to the understanding of activities in the atmosphere of this star, but its nature is still not well understood.
