Adventures in spectroscopy begin. Gonna discover a new element and name it ribbonfarmium by next year.

This is cheap spectrometer or $9. The slit I think is a little too wide. Unfortunately scale is not readable with my vision. Fortunately, seems feasible to take photos and it’s a bit more readable. Photo above is with my old iPad. Lemme try new iPhone.

I have one of these things but don't know what it's for or how to use it. Suggestions?

Point it at various light sources to see spectrum range. LEDs, fluorescents etc will be narrow band. Gonna try looking at the moon and maybe sun if I can find a suitable filter.
Can rig up chemical identification things too. Like salt in a blue flame should make a yellow line.
