NSV 860 was classified as an eclipsing binary in 1936 by Zinner but has been neglected since. V795 Cas has also been classified as an eclipsing binary system in the SIMBAD database, however no definitive studies have been done on either one in order to confirm this, so they both seemed objects worthy of further study. Consequently, we have obtained 18 spectra of NSV 860 and 14 spectra of V795 Cas in order to determine the true nature of these systems. Using IRAF software we removed the systematic artifacts and cosmic rays from the data and then proceeded to wavelength-calibrate the spectra. From here we analyzed the spectra in order to accurately and scientifically classify the star systems. We gratefully acknowledge NSF/RUI grant AST-05-07542 and the VURF grant given by Villanova University.
