My first spectrum using SA100 and Rspec
Hi,
We have received our SA100 and Rspec program and I have decided to post what I have done to get some advice.
I used a Canon 400d with the SA 100 prime focussed up the back of the scope. The first image is taken with a William oOptics Flt 110 flourite and was a 2 second shot. I put the image in photoshop (Raw) rotated and cropped so I had star and right hand spectrum which is image 2 and then finally the PDF is of the Rspec program with the image loaded and spectrum produced.
I am probably asking now about callibration. I have found out that the star Formalhault is a A3V star so I have looked at sayiny the spike is the main star and I found it very hard (impossible) to identify specific feature that would allow me to callibrate another point so my x axis pixels become X axis wavelengths. I have not done anything else and know there are lots more to do but I thought I would post my start anyway as we want to include this term 2 next year into our senior physics course so I better get learning.
Mark
