So I saw this yesterday when shooting some images.  Its the spectrum view of the H-alpha line from my Sol'Ex.  Looks like it has a prom sticking out on one side, I think?  :)

Larry, is this one scan? If it is, you did hell of a great job.

Thanks, I've been working on the process and scope for this.  I have refined my 120st, added the ability to collimate the lens, cleaned it, added a filter changer to the Lacerta wedge, and reworked my focal reducer.  So far so good.  :)
