Auxiliary Equipment for Telescopes

Ever more sophisticated auxiliary equipment was developed for carrying out precise astronomical measurements. Furthermore, spectroscopic research became an integral part of astronomy. Using spectrometry, starlight could be broken into its different components, thus enabling the chemical structures of stars to be determined.
