Amateur Astronomical Spectroscopy

Welcome to the CAOS web site!

CAOS:  Club of Aficionados in Optical Spectroscopy

Our purposes are:

  1. Search and develop know-how in the construction of spectrographs aimed to amateur astronomers
  2. Share the acquired know-how to the amateur community

This site is organized according the following pages (tabs):

Last Post. Link to the our last article posted in this blog.

Old Site. Our initial web site describing most of our past work (from 1993)

Equipment. We include 3 categories:

  • List of most of our spectrographs. Some links provide description, drawings and results
  • Devices
  • Simulators

Optical Fibres. This section publishes posts on the use of fibre optics to link telescopes to spectrographs

Documents. Few articles and documents are available here on our work in amateur spectroscopy. In this link you will find some information about us
