Description:

Unleash your Inner Scientist Haven’t you always wanted to “do some science” with your telescope or standalone DSLR?The science is easy and exciting. You can learn as you go with our tutorial videos.With just a small telescope you can easily:determine any star’s OBAFGKM star-type and temperature from its spectra curve.identify the composition of a star or nebula from its emission and absorption linesdetect the cosmological red-shift of a distant quasar!measure the blue-shift of a supernova’s expanding shell as it races towards us at millions of miles/hour.Sky and Telescope InterviewIn the video below,  Dennis di Cicco, Senior Editor of Sky Telescope Magazine interviews the author of RSpec, Tom Field.Hear how easy it is to get started and the wonderful results you can get with a DSLR or a small backyard telescope. Dark skies and big telescopes aren’t necessary! You can probably get great spectra with your current setup, even from the suburbs. Watch this video: The short video below will explain a bit more about spectroscopy with a small telescope, how exciting it is, and how you can probably use your current equipment. Periodic Table of SpectraLooking for our new poster?  Click on this link.Pardon our smile!We’re pleased that Sky Telescope Magazine awarded our RSpec software their “Hot Product” award. The award is given for product excellence and technical leadership. Our customers tell us the award was well-deserved because our ground-breaking software allows you to easily capture and process the spectra of stars.Now you can easily capture the spectra of starsOur RSpec software enables you to rapidly go from a static image (FITS, JPG, etc. or DSLR) or video file to a calibrated spectrum graph – in real-time. Now you can see a star or planet’s spectrum graph instantly, right at your telescope! No more waiting until later to see if you got the spectrum you hoped for.Getting started in spectroscopy is easy. Use our inexpensive Star Analyser grating (link) on almost any camera or telescope. You’ll be able to easily see the spectra of distant stars. You can even use an unguided DSLR camera — no telescope needed.But, don’t take our word for it — the video below shows the spectra of a bright star taken at 5 frames/second using an inexpensive video camera!Better yet, see for yourself what s possible. Check out our sample results page that shows what amateurs just like you have done: link.In the past, creating an intensity graph from a star’s spectrum was a painful trial-and-error process. But, now, because RSpec displays your profile graph immediately, it’s painless.No one likes the drudgery of complicated image processing and steep learning curves. Astronomy is supposed to be fun! With RSpec, you can go from your original image to a calibrated profile graph in just a few clicks. See a star’s spectrum in real-time at your telescope!Click the image below to watch a one-minute video that shows RSpec in action: Want to see what else you can do in spectroscopy? Check out our Sample Project page: link. You provided me with a way of doing more serious astronomy without adding an extra zero at the end of the cost of what I already own. Steven Fanutti, Brampton, Ontario   I was able to capture and calibrate a spectrum on my first night out with RSpec. What a great program! Steve Jameson, Dallas, Texas RSpec is easy to learn and is an excellent tool for investigating slit-less astronomical spectra. Richard Berry, Lyons, Oregon. (author of Build Your Own Telescope, AIP4Win, The Dobsonian Telescope, etc., etc.) I m using RSpec in classroom labs to teach my students. We look at light sources and stars. The real-time image really captures the kids attention. Chris Slotkin, London, England Amazing! I bought a grating and tried spectroscopy a few years ago but it was just too much work. But, RSpec has gotten me into it again! I m having a wonderful time with RSpec! Betsy Seltzer, Seattle, Washington I had always wanted to capture star spectra, but thought it would be too hard. Wow! I was wrong. RSpec is a real pleasure to use. And the tutorial videos made it easy to learn. Rick Hiestand, Joshua Tree, California This fantastic system for amateur use or teachers. It works wonderfully in middle school light and color classes, or high school/college classroom demonstrations and hands-on projects.I was using it ten minutes after I took it out of the box.I give it five stars – a must have! Shawn Carlson, STEM innovator, MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, PhysicistThe RSpec software is amazingly easy to use.  This is a real breakthrough product! Ron Diiulio, Astronomy Laboratory Director, University of North Texas The Star Analyser grating is a perfect fit for us. Other companies were claiming it was impossible to do spectroscopy with the filter wheel, wanting us to spend thousands of dollars (that we didn t have) to completely alter our system. They were very obviously off base. This setup is exactly right for teaching our students how to do spectroscopy research, which is our main goal.My students use the RSpec software to learn how to identify the main features of the star classifications OBAFGKM, and they took to it very naturally even though they ve never had any astronomy experience before this semester. The tutorial videos are enormously helpful.
