Top: Science: Astronomy: Amateur: Spectroscopy

This category lists *amateur* spectroscopy projects only!

Amateur astronomers often record astronomical images of a quality rivaling professional telescopes. However, for a number of reasons, they have lagged behind in the field of recording spectra of astronomical sources.

This category is meant to assemble links to such projects in one place.

Spectroscopy is the technique of obtaining and recording the spectra of light sources. A spectrum is the continuum of colors (as in a rainbow) formed when light is dispersed so that its component wavelengths are arranged in order.
