Optical parts kit

Hi,

I am a bit late but just got a 3D printer and might be interested in building an UVEX spectrograph.

Where can I purchase the optical parts for the UVEX ?

Thanks and regards Rainer

Re: Symbiotic recurrent nova RS Oph in ourburst !!!

Hi,

Yesterday I was able to shot another series of RS Oph. Below the comparison of August 10, 12 and 15.

Re: Symbiotic recurrent nova RS Oph in ourburst !!!

Hi, Having read a lot about RS Oph I told myself maybe I try it. Maybe, because to the South my neighbour has a Palm tree and that one covers up the whole South :cry: OK, I was lucky to get RS Oph between two branches :mrgreen: I took some images on August 10 as well as on August 12. See attached im...

Re: urgent observation request for TYC1799 1159 1

Hi Ulrich, I was able to shot 13 images each 600 seconds but the last one were already quite low over the Horizon. Below the graph. I labeled where the spectra has its lowest point. Also attached a fit file for your inspection. I just found out the forum does no accept the file type *.fit for upload...

Re: urgent observation request for TYC1799 1159 1

Hi Robin, Thsnk. Will do. BTW I have now a starter lamp integrated in the telescope cover and with this I can shoot calibration frames in every position. The same lamp was calibrated many years ago by Richard Walker when in some forum there was a opinion exchange about this starter lamps. In Europe ...

Re: urgent observation request for TYC1799 1159 1

Thus my next question to the community (and to Uwe Zurmuehl and Rainer in particular): What's the precision (and calibration reliability) of radial-velocity (RV) measurements that you can get out of your spectra? Potentially, the RV of the giant might vary by more than 100 km/s over the next 8 days...

Re: urgent observation request for TYC1799 1159 1

Hi Ulrich, I managed to get TYC 1799-1159-1 yesterday night and made 15 images each 450s and processed the outcome into a spectrum. I tried to calibrate the spectra with the instrument response curve I have. Nor perfect but trying to learn more and more with time. Just started again with Spectroscop...
