First try at a spectrum
So after a bit of research, I have decided to have a crack at a bit of spectroscopy!! Managed to get out tonight and try out an SA200 with my 8" Edge SCT and Atik One camera. After a few experiments I managed to get something from Iota Cenauri. I selected this star as it is an A type star (A2v to be precise) which is useful for calibration. Used the trial version of Rspec to calibrate and I have a spectra. The second image shows a reference overlay for an A2v star which show the same hydrogen lines as mine which is pleasing.
Image is attached, will be fun working on this I think!!
