  • Voilà une chouette vidéo pleine de motivation pour faire connaître outre-Atlantique ces magnifiques inventions. Que d'économies grâce au bon sens, une fente et un réseau. Bravo !
  • @timcorso6337
    Fascinating - I be following this topic very closely. Thanks for you wonderful work
  • @TMihelich
    I am actually sitting next to the SolEx I built along with the SolEx lens kit ready to install and setup with it. I am VERY interested to see more of your videos and am seriously thinking about adding the High res StarEx mod to it. Great job on your first video on this fascinating subject.
  • This is great. After building sol-ex I had difficulty following Christian’s tutorials on you tube due to poor google translate,so having an English speaker is greatly appreciated. I just got the Lhires so I’m anxious for the snow to melt. I look forward to more videos. Thanks.
  • Excellent!! I'm looking forward to future videos on spectroscopy. Looks like you dived into this head-first ;-)
  • Excellent ! Super bien faite merci de populariser la spectro et de valoriser star’ex ´worldwild’ !
  • Wounderfull video on a topic that has interested me. Looking forward to more of your videos 👍💥💫
  • this is amazing, i've always been interested in spectroscopy and seeing a "cheap" alternative for amateurs is great, hopefully i'll get one in the near future. thanks
  • @kunjvachhani8547
    The way he explains is no nice he is excited to teach the topic. ❤
  • Superbe vidéo ! Un alléchante introduction à la spectrographie, comme je les aimes, faite avec talent. Tu es un superbe ambassadeur. Vraiment merci Julien et on attend la suite ! - Great video! A delightful introduction to spectrography, just the way I like it, done with talent. You are a great ambassador. Really thank you Julien and we are waiting for the next one!

    Cool stuff! I can get low quality spectra using my bahtinov mask on my scope. Every star i've tried has a slightly different rainbow pattern. I once built a slit box for my webcam too. It was a fun little project :) I've only just come across your well made channel. Subbed.
  • I did spectroscopy in my internship, would love to get into it again, I have pages for the filter saved.

    Great presentation. I'm currently putting together the low-resolution Star'Ex since I feel the need for some practical training before stepping up to the high-resolution version. Low resolution spectra are also quite useful for basic education in astrophysics. Anyhow I was quite impressed by some of the things you presented in your video and look forward to seeing more.
  • Fascinating. I am trying to explore a low cost spectrometry using a transmission diffraction grating (low cost) with 1000 lines/mm with F/7 127 mm refractor and ZWO ASI 294 mc pro camera.
