First light for Simon and Martin using their spectroscopes on bright stars

First Light for Simon!

My first attempt, the stars are not as well focused as I would like and I think the very short exposures (0.1s) have resulted in capturing the scintillation of the stars being observed resulting in wider lines than I think are possible with my set-up.
