This is definitely a good month to begin a journey into astronomical spectroscopy!
I used my new SA100 for the first time last night. The SA100 was screwed onto the 1.25" nosepiece of my QHY5 with spectra processing using a trial copy of RSpec. The scope used was a Long Perng 80mm f6 achromat.
After having taken a test image with my 400D to confirm the location of Nova Del 2013, I calibrated first on Fomulhaut, then centred on Nova Del 2013. I had to swap out the QHY5 between Fomulhaut and Nova Del so that I could centre the new target. I found Nova Del much harder to focus on than Fomulhaut, but hopefully I can finetune the workflow so that I dont need to change cameras and refocus everytime I change targets.
Anyway here it is. Angstroms/Pixel = 12.2
