Beschreibung

Because today's amateur astronomical telescopes are both powerful and affordable, spectroscopy - once the province of professionals - is becoming more and more popular. Various spectroscopes, at prices to suit everyone, are now available "off the shelf". Practical Amateur Spectroscopy contains everything an amateur needs to grasp the basic principles, to begin observing, and to understand just what the spectra show. Contributions by leading practical amateurs from America and Europe cover a very wide range of amateur equipment and techniques. One even describes how an audio CD can be used to show solar emission and absorption lines!

Zusammenfassung

Modern amateur astronomical telescopes are both powerful and affordable. Spectroscopy - in which the light a star is broken down into a rainbow-coloured spectrum - is becoming more and more popular as instruments and techniques improve with technology. Spectroscopy can tell us a great deal about a star - not the least what it is made of, and how fast it is travelling away from us. Practical Amateur Spectroscopy contains everything an amateur astronomer needs to know to begin observing, but goes relatively deeply into the subject for those who are already involved.
