Dividing spectra---

Jeff,
I haven't had the time to do much with the spectra....
When you divide a Raw but calibrated spectra by a library reference spectra, for the same star type, you end up with a Camera responce curve.
This can then be used to "correct" future spectra taken by the same instrument and set-up. i.e. when you take your next raw spectra divide it by the camera responce to get a calibrated "corrected" spectra.
Not sure what you get when you already have a corrected spectra then divide by a reference library spectra..... the differences only I guess????
