We have been using a new method to search for solar-like oscillations that involves measuring temperature changes via their effect on the equivalent widths of the Balmer hydrogen lines. We observed alpha Cen A over six nights in 1995 with the 3.9-metre Anglo-Australian Telescope and the European Southern Observatory's 3.6-metre telescope in Chile. Oscillations were not detected, with an upper limit only slightly higher than the expected signal.
