The info that can be obtained from a spectrum about a star is what is =

I think it was Kyle that asked about the rainbow grating? I wonder if =
you found some useful information at my web site about this? Also here =
are some very good places to look.=20
http://www.astrosurf.com/buil/ At this site you can learn allot on =
spectra, as Buil is the best. Also on his front page, is a underscored =
name, New Web Site for Visual Spec, by my friend Val. She is a top =
programer and also tops in spectra. I can tell you more later, as you =
have most likely seen the commercials on TV months back for GE's new, =
near 100% effective mammography she designed. When you go to her site, =
if you want, do the full down load, NOT the disks. Also look over things =
and you'll see a step by step tutorial on how to start using the =
program. About the only good one out there for spectra. I also wish to =
remind all, and the new users we have a voice chat room set up for any =
of the good groups to use. Its;=20
http://go.to/astrochat Just fallow the instructions for new =
users, down load the program, unzip it, and get its Icon then double =
click on that to install. fallow all the instruction or contact me for =
help. Mike=20
