(meteorobs) Correction to my message on meteor spectroscopy



Boy, I should read what I type!!! 
 
    This should make more sense:  "Early meteor spectrographs record spectra very well, at the blue end of the spectrum.  At that time, prisms were used as the dispersive element and they only provided good dispersion in this region. With a prism, the red end is very crowded so lines are difficult to measure".
 
I'll try and be more careful next time and edit what I say before I send it.
