Fig. 8. Variation of Na I abundances [FORMULA] [Na/Fe] determined from observed spectra with NLTE line formation calculations using different hydrogen collision scaling factors [FORMULA]. Results refer to the moderately metal-poor subgiant HD 69611 (open squares) and the Pop II turnoff star HD 74000 (filled circles). The zero point has been arbitrarily set at [FORMULA] = 0.5
