DESCRIPTION:
In this video, we take a closer look at Star'Ex, my DIY 3D printed high resolution spectrograph. I explain how it works, and how to build it. I also share a few resources so that you can get started with this project, as well as answer a few of your questions and debunk some common misconception about amateur spectroscopy.
