Event Details

Join us at the Crow’s Nest Preserve for our monthly club meeting.

Astronomical spectroscopy until recently was limited to professionals and a few hardy amateurs who had the skills to make their own instrumentation. There are now several companies that produce spectrometers that can be purchased for as low $200. In this presentation, Steve Conard will describe what spectroscopy is, and what it can tell us about the objects we observe. He will demonstrate a moderate resolution spectrometer and show spectra generated “live”. Audience members are asked to bring any unusual light sources or optical filters they may possess to be used as part of the demonstration.

Steve Conard is a life-long amateur astronomer, and vice president of the Westminster Astronomical Society in Maryland. He is an optical engineer working for the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, supporting the New Horizons mission to the Kuiper Belt and the Lucy mission to the Jupiter Trojan Asteroids
