Had some really nice results recently. Got this nicely detailed spectrum a few nights ago. This one has strong O lines at 557.7nm and 615.6nm as well as several Si+ lines indicating a fairly speedy meteor!
It is worth remembering that the colouration is wavelength stretched and false, the spectrum actually spans from ~370nm to 780nm so, rather sadly, you’d never see it look so nice…
cheers,
Bill.
