If you wish to understand how to start, to go deeper, or simply increase your knowledge and improve your results, then this book is made for you! Amateur interest in Astronomical spectroscopy is on the rise. More and more amateur astronomers are diving into the adventure. Getting a star spectrum, today is easily feasible, with modest equipment ? if you have a method, and go step by step. This book is a guide; it is very practical. It addresses all the issues required to quickly assist you in obtaining quality spectra with a slit spectroscope. We talk about astrophysics and optics, but it is not an astrophysical or optical course. No prerequisite is needed. A big part of the book is dedicated to the setup of your equipment and to obtaining spectra in the field. This is often where beginners face problems: one needs to make several devices (telescope, spectroscope, camera?) work together. Little by little, you?ll learn how to get your first spectra, to perform data reduction, and to look at your spectra with more and more expectations ? up to the moment when you realize that you?re doing real science. « The book you are about to read is remarkable in the sense that it makes the foundations of astronomical spectroscopy accessible to all and provides practical advice for its application. It will without doubt give you the desire to embark on this great adventure, and provides you the means to achieve it. » extract from the preface written by Claude Catala, President of the Observatoire de Paris 410 0$aPROfil 606 $aAstronomical spectroscopy 615 0$aAstronomical spectroscopy. 676 $a522.67 700 $aCochard$b Francois$01041000 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793307203321 996 $aSuccessfully starting in astronomical spectroscopy$93738050 997 $aUNINA
