STAROS / Norvis development team
NORVIS has been developed by the association STAROS, based on their experience in compact astronomical spectroscopy. A completely new optical chain has been specially designed for the observations of auroral emissions, covering the 380-860 nm spectral range, with full software suite for acquisition and reduction.
