Clear Skies!

Many thanks to Tom for making the trip up and giving us quite an "enlightening" talk. His homemade spectrometer did the trick for us with his experiments and explanations. Well done Tom!

Seanie.

It was quite a good talk. It was interesting to see what a homemade spectroscope can do.
