The Book on 10 Experiments in Astronomical Spectroscopy for Amateurs

My book has been translated into English and will be available for purchase by mid-May 2026.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt thanks to Ken Harrison, Ken Hudson, Tom Love, Peter Velez, Hamish Barker, Robin Leadbeater, and Jonathan Dancer, who did a tremendous job proofreading my translations and also provided insightful comments on certain points discussed in the book.

Hi Oliver! Got it, thank you!
