Abstract

(Abstract only) Spectroscopy is more and more present in amateur astronomy, and gives deep physical information on the sky objects (stars, nebulae, novae and supernovae, comets...). We'll see how it works in real life: which equipment is required, the optical principles, how to run an observation. I'll also give you some key advice to successfully start in spectroscopy.
