I think it would be kind of cool to look at different stars and work out what they are made of.

Hi White Rabbit,
I have had a Rainbow Optics Star Spectroscope for several years.
Don Whitman from Bintel put me on to it. It is of very high quality and relies on a blazed grating.
I use it when I have school groups around observing. The grating screws into a eyepiece barrel, typically 16mm to 20mm does the job. It would be possible to image through it using an eyepiece projection setup, something I have not yet tried.
Regards
Trevor
