Julian,
Thanks....
Tom has done a good job with RSpec (he's working on getting it FITS ready...) it's an ideal introduction software for the gratings.
IMHO something like BASS or VSpec or ISIR is the way to go forward. They are much more comprehensive and can give results acceptable to many of the ProAm campaigns. They allow you to "grow" in spectroscopy without having to relearn.....
The other books you "should have" on the shelf:
Robinson's "Spectroscopy -The key to the stars" - an easy introduction to the astrophysics
and
Kaler's "Stars and their spectra" - a great overview with lots of background and detail.
