Abstract

Thomas had been invited to the meeting of the SPECTROSCOPY section of the German Amateur Astronomy Association to give a talk about the winds of massive stars. Klaus wanted to hear it as well, and during the trip to Heidelberg he asked if Thomas believed whether amateurs are able to understand a mathematical derivative, at least. Thomas did not know and he became concerned. During the meeting some amateur astronomers discussed recently obtained Solar spectra and the respective optical depths. After Thomas had given his talk the first question was about the velocity law of stellar winds and its derivative. Question answered!
