Star Analyser 100 Where to buy from

[batema (Mark)]

Hello, Can anyone direct me to where to buy this item in Australia as our school budget has to be spent and my Head of Department wants to spend. We are going to try to use the Star Analyser 100 with a program called Visual Spec or can you suggest what else we should use. I was shown RSPEC at astrofest but the budget only stretches about $250.
Thanks

Mark

Go their website and buy from there.
I did it recently without problems, Bob was very helpful as I had a special request.

As to software, use IRIS and ISIS (http://www.astrosurf.com/buil/isis/isis_en.htm), all freeware.

Thank you bojan.

Visual spec is fine Mark. The price is right too.

I bought my SA100 direct from Paton Hawkesley too.

I agree with Al.
Paton Hawksley will ship to Oz and Vspec is a great freeware processing solution.
Plug: The "Grating Spectroscopes: How to use them" was written specifically for first time users of the SA100 or the Rainbow Optics grating. All you need to know.

Thanks all.

Mark,
Did you source a Star Analyser?

[Poita (Peter)]

Mark, you can borrow my Star Analyser for a while if you want. It is certainly small enough to post!

Thank you all for your advice. We are in the process of buying a star analyser and a couple of adapters and the program Rspec. Can not wait to get going. Thank you for the offer Peter but it should arrive soon.

I am sure I will have several questions as we ramp up this aspect of our senior physics school program.
