Selztal Observation Site

new publication out of the HOYS Team

Next Paper dealing in the series of "HOYS"-Papers has been accepted by Monthly Notes. Selztal-Observatory has provided observations to the overall dataset. 

Low Resolution Spectrum of M42

In order to understand which kind of objects can be observed, I try to find out what is the limiting magnetudes for the LHiRes III. To improve the sensitivity I ordered a 150 lines / mm grid which has been used with a 100m slit. Attached please find a spectra of M42 (together with one star of the central Trapez -Region)

C/2020 F3 NEOWISE

C/2020 F3 NEOWISE turns out as comet which might get a good visiblity like Hale-Bobb.

OT Gem

OT Gem is identified as a B-Star with emission lines:  Be. With a magnitude of approx 6.5 it's a more challanging object for small slit size. Current observation has been performed with a 23mue split in binning equal 2 setting.

Selztal Observatory goes spectroscopy

During the last year I started to collect some experience in spectroscopic observations.
