... That's a shame, would have liked to meet you. And pick your brain about spectroscopes. I've acquired a Celestron off-axis guider and a reflection grating...
Good news for Visual Spec users! Valerie Desnoux has opened a section for Visual Spec support on the new ARAS (Astronomical Ring for Spectroscopy Amateurs)...
I see on and other group somebody asking about somebody near him in toronto and I finaly find a freind near him in hamilton maybe I am loky also and find a...
... Sorry for delay Brendan - haven't logged on lately<g>. No detailed plans are available for the WPO spectrograph but the principles with many sample...
Maurice has done fantastic work in spectroscopy (he and Christian Buil basically invented amateur spectroscopy!), but he's wrong here on an important fact....
Thanks for the correction Harold - I transposed resolution for dispersion! That said my results did reveal higher resolution with a long lens as my sample...
... The only thing I've been unsure about (so far!) is whether the grating needs to be mounted square-on to the camera lens, or whether it has to tip forward...
Hi, I am new to espectrography. I'd like to have a spectrograph but they are expensives. From what I have read, it seems the StarAnalizer device could do the ...
... they ... Not as expensive as an ST-10 :)) ... I'm sure Robin can give the definitive answer, but I think the further away you have the StarAnalyser from...
Hi Pedro, The Star Analyser is a low resolution spectrograph (around 30-50A resolution) This means that the design can be much simpler than higher resolution...
Thank you Brendan and Brian, Brendan: Touche!! Yes the ST-10 is not a cheap one. The point is I have already invested so much money in my CCD astronomical...

Hi Pedro, ... This was exactly what the Star Analyser was designed to do but it can do some quite impressive things that a "proper" higher resolution...
No problem Pedro, The spectrum is just a very narrow strip which is extracted from the image. As long as no other stars lie on this line, you are ok and this...
Hi folks, Is it sometimes useful in spectroscopy to have a G2V star in the imaged field? The reason I'm asking is that I might embark on a little project to ...
Hi Robin, With the Star Analyser I like to find a nearby A or F star. The strong H Balmer lines are useful to check the calibration. I suppose a G2V star could...
Hi all, I'm new to the group. The ESA's Smart-1 probe is scheduled to impact the lunar surface about 10 degrees south of Mare Humorum on September 3, 2006 at...

Hi Rick, That sounds like an interesting project. I don't think an image intensifier would work though because, as I understand it, the process involves...
... Actually scrub that, I was talking rubbish ;-). The dispersion into a spectrum is done before the intensifier of course so you can record the spectrum...
the staranalyse is a 100L\mm is a grating of 600L\mm help or give better result or maybe 1200L\mm do you have a similar taget where we ca make testing jack...
Robin, Yes, I think an image intensifier might be the only way to proceed with a project like this but the ones without hot pixels are very expensive. I might...
I'm new to this but without a slit I don't think the chip would accomodate that much resolution... Rick ... 1200L\mm ... <staranalyser@> ... light ... into a ...
Hi Jaques,Richard 600l/mm would give too much dispersion to record the whole spectrum in one go, which is what you would want to do for this type of event....
Anyone had a look at Chi Cygni recently? It is just comming up to maximum and it seems to brighter than previous maxima at mag 3.7 It is a Mira variable which...
