Opinion poll for observing rainbows from stars
About a dozen of us are exploring astronomical spectroscopy, from a basic level to hopefully contributing data for science. We’d like some demo's, talks, workshops and are planning to organise something locally or for a larger coverage. (Some of us are near Melbourne or Sydney but others elsewhere may be keen too.)
To save the experienced spectroscopists’ time and trouble, we’re needing now to sound out how many would be interested in what.
Please comment, or just by a multiple-choice reply:
[A] Would like a basic show-and-tell of using simple gratings (RO, SA100/200 type).
[B] Would like a practical article with illustrations plus top-pick links (pooled from what exist already).
[C] Interested in how to interpret data, for example
what created different features in the bright bands, what chemical components dark lines tell, what features show what was dynamically happening.
[D] Would like to know what equipment produce what quality of data, how to calibrate, where to send data (or images) to, and what pro-am campaigns or requests.
[E] Would be interested in more advanced setup, such as L200, Alpy, Lisa, eShel, Lhires
[F] Would like info and a show-and-tell for DIY.
[G] When, where, and any other factors (duration, distance, cost, hands-on, repeats, series, videos, buy things) would you suggest for a demo, talk, workshop?
Thank you.
Please tell friends also.
