The Science of Light: Stellar Spectra
published by the Annenberg Foundation
Visit this Annenberg Media website find out how to analyze the spectrum of a star and determine its composition.  The site displays spectra of various elements and then shows a stellar spectrum, so you can match spectral lines and identify elements in the star. Several samples of stellar spectra are provided.
