Re: some open slit photo - videos
This is much much better!!! well done!!
but now what you need to get the best contrast is a Lyot diaphragm : if you look carefully you can see that your images are a bit "hazy" : the background isnt black and thats because of the diffracted light of the objective lens of the refractor. When you have a Lyot diaph inside the spectro and when the sky is clear it makes a huge difference. look at that video :

h alpha line : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgtEWWv ... chrisimbee ( the background is almost black )
and this one : the slit was very open and still the background was black due to the Lyot diaphragm : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aetIrga ... chrisimbee

the same position as in any coronagraph : where the refractor lens is imaged by the collimator lens.
