Hello,

I'm an amateur astronomers for... some years now (;>), and discovered spectroscpy more than 10 years ago !
I've learned a lot through this community (Spectro-L, Aude...), and we've been up to create with Olivier Thizy Shelyak Instruments Company (http://www.shelyak.com), to develop spectrographs and make this activity available to more and more observers.
I've now some experience in instruments designs, manufacturing and design... and I'm always happy when I can help in this area !

I'm also deeply involved in BeSS and ArasBeam websites, to coordinate Be stars observations. This is a great project... never forget to observe Be stars !

This forum is a new opportunity to share our experiences, ideas, questions... thanks to the initiators (specially to François Teyssier) !

Best regards
