Spectrophotometric observations of the Be star ηCen obtained in May, 1993 show smooth variations of both the stellar and circumstellar Balmer discontinuity (BD) on a time scale of hours. Simultaneous photometry and high-resolution spectroscopy suggest possible correlations with the large-amplitude brightness and line-profile variations.
