Hello from Colmar
Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2014 7:06 am
Hello to all ARAS list members,
My name is Vincent Bouttard and I'm living in Colmar in France (in the south of Strasbourg, in Alsace). I'm working as webmaster in Optique Unterlinden, one of the most important astronomical retailer in France ; we are distributing (and I'm using) Shelyak spectrographes of course !
I'm interested in spectroscopy for few years now and, due to ARAS members enthousiasm, I want to participate more and more to Be stars and other surveys.
I have met François Teyssier at the OHP star party and he has gave to me a great interest in cataclysmic stars and especially dwarf novae.
I'm often use Newtonian reflectors (200mm and 250mm, standard Sky-Watcher or GSO telescopes) with Alpy 600 spectrograph (with Atik 460EX and Titan cameras) on Takahashi JPZ mount. I have also used the LHIRES III on a Takahashi Mewlon 250 reflector. I like "pure" reflectors for spectroscopy.
I'm a member of SAF (Société Astronomique de France), SAHR (Société Astronomique du Haut-Rhin) and AAVSO (BVIA).
With SAHR, we have planned to build a spectroscopy group, with Patrick Fosanelli and Christan Kreider. We have 2 telescopes under domes and I hope that they could contribute to spectroscopic surveys and campaigns.
Vincent
