Well my Staranalyser has arrived safely - didn't realise it came with a free cloud magnet! Looks like I'll have to content myself with getting the hang of...
Hello everybody, Finally, I had a chance to try out my new Staranalyser. Two files are in the 'user area' in my folder 'fvkastro' - The BMP from the visual...
Hello, Just back from the post-office with a package. Carrying?, yes, the Star Analyser 100. Have opened the package and this looks interesting..Just one...
Well we had a few gaps in the cloud tonight and I managed a few frames of Vega at f10 on the LX-200. Have not had any time to try and understand Visual Spec...
Hi Florenijn, Congratulations on your first spectrum! I am glad you found a gap in the clouds. Yes it does look as though the new version of Visual Spec...
Hello Geir, I have mainly used Visual Spec. It has lots of good features but it is rather fragile so you need to save often so you do not lose your work. I...
Hello Mike and congratulations on your first light with the Star Analyser. I did a rough calibration of your spectrum using the prominent dark absorption line...
Thanks Robin - I'll try my results with vspec against your analysis. Regarding the focal reducer - I have a Mogg reducer which screws onto the front of the...
Hi Mike, You need to screw the Star Analyser on first and then the reducer otherwise you will reduce the spectrum as well and you will be back to square one. ...
I use a Rainbow Optics trans-grating in 1.25"+ MX9 for low-res work -see http://www.astroman.fsnet.co.uk/spectro.htm If Star Analyser is similar it should...
Hello Franco and welcome to the group, Yes the Star Analyser should work well with the MX916. The CCD chip has quite large 11.6x11.2um pixels so you need to...
I checked out Skyspec website and (I really don' know German well) saw something about an English version? I downloaded and installed Skyspec but it was all in...

Hi Chris, I have been working off a Google translation of this page so far http://www.gosky.de/Spektroskopie3.htm but I e-mailed Bernd this morning to ask if...
Hi Group, I have been interested in the comments regarding the Staranalyser for some time and wonder if it could be used on the nose of a Scopetronix max view...

A little OT for this specialised group but I've posted at http://home.freeuk.com/m.gavin/300d.htm an experimental wideangle shot of Cygnus with a 85mm fl f/2...
I love your rainbow fish shots Maurice, though in this case there are no fish tails so the lens must be well corrected. Have you tried using your Rainbow...
Hi Rod, I have not tried an afocal setup but my guess is you would need to mount the grating at least a couple of inches before the eyepiece to get a decent...
Hi Robin, Thanks for your reply; I will be interested in your findings. I do have SAC 7 & 8 which could us a Staranalyser in the conventional fashion, but I...
Robin - I've not tried a trans grating between a camera lens and detector and suspect a wide f/2 lens would produce poor spectral images in a strongly...
Hi Robin, thanks for your kind and prompt answer. The spacing from the end of the Starlight Express nosepiece to the CCD is nearly 55 mm. So I think it should...
Robin - Christian Buil continues to creatively experiment [and produce science] with the simplest equipment as displayed on his excellent webpage ;-) Nytecam ...
Olivier Thizy has just published on yahoo group spectro_l a list of ideas for targets for a spectroscopy training course. There could be some interesting...
Hi all, I am new to this side of the hobby and was wondering if there is a good, concise tutorial for VSpec someplace that will teach me the basics? Cheers, ...
Hi Tim, Welcome to the group Valerie Desnoux has a tutorial for Vspec on his website here http://astrosurf.com/vdesnoux/tutorial.html and Tom How, one of the...
