Hi,

My name is Paulo Cacella, I am electrical engineer and amateur astronomer. I have a somewhat good observatory (DogsHeaven Observatory X87) with following main equipment:

50cm F4,3 reflector in a HD32HPO chronos mount
35cm C14 with hyperstar
30cm Meade ACF
25cm Meade SCT
25cm RC
some APOs

staranalyser 100 and 200lpm
SBIG DSS7 spectroscope
LHIRES spectroscope
ugriz set
2 ubvri sets

a lot of computers....

Ive designed my own software to search for transients and Ive discovered some.

I also participate in collaboration pro-am

I am designing an echelle. Ive got two Richardson echelle gratings and I am building a prototype.

Paulo

Welcome Paolo,

I have visited your website it is very impressive..!

Regards, Joan.

Hi Joan,

The site is very outdated. Now I use youtube to show search for transients live. (CANCELLED DUE TO CLOUDS) I will do this now 00:30 GMT. If you want to take a look it is here https://youtu.be/RxkjdI3aR9k . I speak in portuguese but I can talk in english if somebody has a question in other language that I can understand like spanish or even french ah ah ah.

I want to exchange with you some informations on echelle I am designing here. Ive seen you have done already and certainly you will have some tips and shortcuts for me.

Best Regards

Paulo

welcome Paulo! it's good to see another southern hemisphere spectroscopist!

Cheers and good luck with the echelle build,

Hamish

Hi Paulo,

I will try to get it right when you need my opinion about your echelle, but sure you've designed it, and know what you want to observe in the future...

So if you need something let me know.

Cheers, Joan.
