Device for spectral analysis of an astronomical object

摘要

The invention relates to a device (1) for spectral analysis of an astronomical object (3; 3b), in particular a star, a nebula, a comet or a galaxy, a telescope (8) and a spectrograph (9) for determining a for the object (3; 3b) has characteristic spectrum (26). A device (5) for uniaxial tracking is expediently provided. A two-axis tracking requires very massive and stable support and holding structures, so that known devices are designed to be stationary. If, on the other hand, uniaxial tracking is provided, a tripod known from photography can advantageously be sufficient for carrying and holding the device without reducing the quality of a measurement result.
