These specifications make it ideal to get started in astronomical spectroscopy… but not only. This real scientific instrument, and will be with you for a long time.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan id=\"tran0\"\u003eIts Resolution Power (R=600) allows it to cover all the visible domains and even more (from 375nm in the near UV to 750 nm in the near IR). You will be able to distinguish many details in the spectral profile. The resolution is 1nm. The dispersing element is a grism, which is the combination of a prism and a diffraction grating (600t\/mm).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan id=\"tran0\"\u003eThe slit allows isolating a fringe of the light source. It brings several advantages: we isolate the object which we wish to observe, we can work on extended objects (nebulae, planets), we can take spectra of calibration light… thanks to the slit, the quality of the spectrum becomes independent from observing conditions (seeing, problems of telescope tracking, and so on). Alpy 600 is delivered with several exchangeable slits (see photo on the left), to cover numerous situations of observation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan id=\"tran0\"\u003eThe compactness and the lightness of the Alpy 600 make it compatible with small instruments (telescope from 80mm of diameter), on modest mounts. You will reach faint objects in a few minutes (even a few seconds) of exposure time. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan id=\"tran0\"\u003eThe optics of Alpy 600 was specially designed to give the best image quality, on the whole visible domain, with a large aperture ( F\/4). You will be surprised by the quantity of information you can extract from a so small spectroscope!

It makes a spectroscope easy to use, to obtain quickly spectacular results. The usage is still simplified thanks to the (free) Demetra software.

The calibration module allows making spectra of flats and calibration lamp (Argon-Neon), to make a quick and precise wavelength calibration of your spectra.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_tabs et_pb_tabs_0 et_slide_transition_to_1\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box;
