I clearly picked a good week to start dabbling with spectra :-)
As a complete newbie I feel a bit embarrassed following on Terry's marvelous spectrum, but I also got something with my SA100 tonight.
Now, everyone seems to be saying that it is "clearly a Fe Nova". I'm about to embark on some self-education, but what is it about the spectrum that leads to this deduction? Forgive my ignorance, but I guess this is a good place to ask.
(I should point out that these are actually the first emission lines I have ever captured for myself. I'm quite excited)
[BTW, thanks for the tips from everyone and especially Ken in the other thread. I seem to have my head around focus, calibration and instrument correction now. At least, I'm getting results that look a bit meaningful]
