(meteorobs) Amateur (meteor) spectroscopy

[Nico Montigiani]

Hi to all,
if you're interested, I have made ​​some attempts to meteor spectrography.
My intrumentation is:
Staranalyzer 100 filter + Mintron B/N camera + 6 mm lens + UFOCaputure 
software + AstroSpectrum 1.0 software (by Ivaldo Cervini).
My preliminary results can be seen on the following link on IMTN 
(Italian Meteor and TLE Network) forum:

Is obviously welcome any comments or suggestions.

With best regards
