Here we present one of our first spectrum taken with the low resolution Spectrograph LowSpec. Thanks to the free available design with STL Files, publish by P.J. Gerlach (thanks Paul for your great work), I was able to build this spectrograph, printed with 3D printer and assembled according to Paul‘s guidelines and list of components.

How does the precise position of a star on a slit does influence the signal.

V901 Ori is know also as Landstreet's Star. It's classified as spectral type B2V mCP and located in the emission nebula IC 432.

OT Gem is a BE-Star which is well known since many years. Recently we observed OT Gem in four consecutive nights.

Because we start our spectroscopy observational experience from scratch, one task was to verify if we are able to perform reasonable observations. This start from scratch is valid for both aspects: knowlege about principal setup and procedures for data processing as well the practical aspect of performing spectroscopic observations.
