Spectroscopy: The Key to the Stars [E-Book] : Reading the Lines in Stellar Spectra / by Keith Robinson.
More can be learned about physical processes going on in stars and nebulae by understanding and analyzing their spectra than by any other means. Many amateur astronomers who use CCD cameras are taking up spectroscopy as part of their observational program, but until now the physics that underlies as...
