Spectroscopy

Here you will find links to software, tutorials, resources,  low resolution spectra Fits files and more to get you started with spectroscopy. Low resolution spectra FITS files of different types of stars will be placed on this page and will be updated from time to time. This is to allow one to learn the processing of spectra without the need for a telescope, camera or spectrograph.
