Featuring detailed commented spectral profiles of more than one
hundred astronomical objects, in colour, this spectral guide documents
most of the important and spectroscopically observable objects
accessible using typical amateur equipment. It allows you to read and
interpret the recorded spectra of the main stellar classes, as well as
most of the steps from protostars through to the final stages of
stellar evolution as planetary nebulae, white dwarfs or the different
types of supernovae. It also presents integrated spectra of stellar
clusters, galaxies and quasars, and the reference spectra of some
terrestrial light sources, for calibration purposes. Whether used as
the principal reference for comparing with your recorded spectra or
for inspiring independent observing projects, this atlas provides a
breathtaking view into our Universe's past. The atlas is accompanied
and supplemented by Spectroscopy for Amateur Astronomers, which
explains in detail the methods for recording, processing, analysing
and interpreting your spectra.
