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. 410 0$aThe Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,$x1431-9756 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy$xObservations 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aSpectroscopy 606 $aMicroscopy 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aPopular Science in Astronomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009 606 $aSpectroscopy and Microscopy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31090 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy$xObservations. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aSpectroscopy. 615 0$aMicroscopy. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aSpectroscopy and Microscopy. 676 $a5201.2093469 700 $aHopkins$b Jeffrey L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791362 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300370603321 996 $aUsing Commercial Amateur Astronomical Spectrographs$91768744 997 $aUNINA
