In ATel #9265 and Atel#8927 I reported spectroscopy of the optical counterpart of the high mass X-ray binary star EXO 2030+375.

Due to an error in coordinate entry in the telescope scheduling system, the spectra obtained were in fact of a different object (BD+47 3129). The reported equivalent widths and line profiles of EXO2030 are therefore incorrect and should not be used.

I offer sincere apologies for this error.
