You will need a CCD camera or similar and a good laser printer that can print the grating onto overhead projector film. I successfully printed out a 200 line/inch grating with a HP 5p laser printer but the overhead paper won't go through through my Konica

Unzip the program read the manual and look at the star spectra

Wow, just saw your post Barry!
Thanks for that!
This will be interesting to say the least. I'll give it a try
