We report observations at opposite quadratures of the interacting symbiotic binary EG Andromedae (HD 4174, Period = 470d). Correcting for absolute motion at the system, it appears that many of the nebular lines arise from material that moves with the red giant star. The He II feature appears to track the hot component. It may be possible to use this feature in other, similar systems in order to “pin-down” the mass ratio.
