Shelyak Alpy 600 Spectroscope
Spectroscopy in astronomy fills the gap between Space and the Atom. It connects the infinite width with the microcosm. Astronomical spectroscopy allows you to characterize and classify different types of astronomical objects (stars, galaxies, nebulae, comets, planets and the interstellar medium), their surface temperature, their composition, their mass and even their proper motions.
It is the way to explore the bestiary of celestial objects in greater detail to measure their physical parameters, to observe the evolution of stars and to follow the "dance" of binary systems. Through spectroscopy, you will be able to see that the sky is constantly changing...
Spectroscopic analysis will give you the opportunity to participate in cooperative programs, share a great educational tool with others and enter the international scientific community. Astronomical spectroscopy will give you the key to have a better understanding of the Universe and even, at a more advanced level, participate in the discovery of Exoplanets!!!!
