A short introduction

Post by FulvioMete »

Hi all:

On imput of my old spectroscopy friend Ken Harrison, I joint this group, that ,I see, looks very, very interesting, to share all about solar spectroscopy an spectrohelioscopy, that I actually do with some simple but very effective instruments.
I live in Rome, Italy, and am the responsible of Spectroscopy Research Sector of UAI (Italian Amateur Astronomer Union).
My websites, with several stuffs about sun imaging and solar spectroscopy , are the following:
http://www.lightfrominfinity.org
http://www.pno-astronomy.com
Many topics are in Italian and English, some in Italian only.
Hoping to share and discuss with you about the astronomy of our nearest star

A very sunny welcome Fulvio :)

I got Ken's book for Christmas as I am really interesting in all the spectral lines but I am rapidly discovering that interested is a bit different to having the brains to understand it ;)

Thanks,Alexandra:
Spectroscopy and the physics underlaying it is quite obvious in its essential lines.
I think at an amateur level no particular knowledge is necessary
