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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith all of these tools in place, the amateur astronomer is well-prepared to forger deeper into the night sky using spectroscopy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274219577495,"sku":"9783319014418","price":2762.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319014418.webp?v=1769279259","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/using-commercial-amateur-astronomical-spectrographs-9783319014418","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
