Within the astronomy observatories there are so-called “Observatory Log Books”. These notebooks are used to record all the important informations concerning the observation sessions carried out by the astronomer with the telescope.
Because i have to start with something, for my first spectrum i chose a very bright star, Vega (Alpha Lyrae), the brightest star in the Lyra constellation.
