We present Doppler and modulation tomography of the low-mass X-ray binary V691 CrA with data obtained using the 6.5-m Magellan Baade telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory in 2010 and 2011. The disc and hotspot are observed in Hα and He ii (λ4686) in both years. A clear image of the disc is seen in He ii (λ5411) using the 2010 data. We present the first tomography of the absorption line He i (λ5876) and detect absorption near the L₁ point of the donor star. We also present the first modulation tomography of the emission line Hα and detect emission from the secondary. The Hα double peaks are imbedded in a deep absorption trough confirming the presence of Balmer line absorbing material in the system. Our observations of Hα show absorption in a larger phase range than in Hβ which could be due to heating up of sprayed matter from the hotspot as it travels downstream. We also suggest …
