Abstract

(Abstract only) We will introduce some historical background on spectroscopic binaries, amateur high resolution spectroscopy observation, procedure, and processing steps. We will show actual results on three binaries (Mizar, beta Aurigae, and AW UMa) taken with Lhires III Littrow spectrographs and an eShel echelle spectrograph. We will discuss further developments in this field.
