    Abstract

    We present observations of the β Pictoris circumstellar Ca II K line, obtained with the new Ultra-High-Resolution facility (UHRF) at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The resolving power was R≳900000⁠, and these data therefore comprise the highest resolution observations yet obtained of this object. Observations were obtained on three nights in 1993 (May 11, August 26 and August 29), and significant temporal variability was observed, including previously unobserved changes in the profile of the main circumstellar component.
