Seagrave Memorial Observatory

Conrad Cardano

The second part of Conrad Cardano's presentation on spectroscopy, this workshop will show how to set up and use the Star Analyzer.

I'll talk about:

  1. The Star Analyzer setup between the camera and telescope.
  2. How to get a good focus
  3. What the raw image looks like
  4. Calibrating the image from pixels to angstroms.
  5. Create the instrument response curve.  How to applying it to your calibrated image.
  6. Making a pretty picture of the spectra

If it is clear, I hope to do a demo at either the 12" or 16" scope.
