It provides detailed information about how to get started inexpensively with low-resolution spectroscopy, and then how to move on to more advanced  high-resolution spectroscopy. Uniquely, the instructions concentrate very much on the practical aspects of using commercially-available spectroscopes, rather than simply explaining how spectroscopes work. The book includes a clear explanation of the laboratory theory behind astronomical spectrographs, and goes on to extensively cover the practical application of astronomical spectroscopy in detail. Four popular and reasonably-priced commercially available diffraction grating spectrographs are used as examples. The first is a low-resolution transmission diffraction grating, the Star Analyser spectrograph. The second is an inexpensive fiber optic coupled bench spectrograph that can be used to learn more about spectroscopy. The third is a newcomer, the ALPY 600 spectrograph. The fourth spectrograph considered is at the other end of the market both in performance and cost, the high-resolution Lhires III. While considerably more expensive, this is a popular and excellent scientific instrument, that allows more advanced amateur astronomers to produce scientifically valuable data. With all of these tools in place, the amateur astronomer is well-prepared to forger deeper into the night sky using spectroscopy.The Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,1431-9756Observations, AstronomicalAstronomyObservationsAstronomySpectroscopyMicroscopyAstronomy, Observations and Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014Popular Science in Astronomyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009Spectroscopy and Microscopyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31090Observations, Astronomical.AstronomyObservations.Astronomy.Spectroscopy.Microscopy.Astronomy, Observations and Techniques.Popular Science in Astronomy.Spectroscopy and Microscopy.5201.2093469Hopkins Jeffrey Lauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut791362BOOK9910300370603321Using Commercial Amateur Astronomical Spectrographs1768744UNINA
