I Balmer Absorption Lines in Different Temperature Stars

TL;DR Summary

Balmer strong weak absorption lines

Hi all

I couldn't find on the web anywhere but what I'm looking for is a real image of strong Balmer absorption lines for a 10,000° Kelvin star and also a real image of a weak Balmer absorption lines for both a much colder or hotter star that shows how the absorption lines are weak. Does anybody know a resource that may have some images like this? It's for presentation I'm giving.

I can't find a high resolution image, but you're looking for something like this:

You can see that the absorption lines for hot stars (near the top) are typically weaker than those for cooler stars (bottom). You can find plenty of images like this by searching for "stellar absorption spectra" in google images.

Yes, perfect. I can use that. Is there credit to be given somewhere or is it commons?

Oof. I didn't think to check. My apologies.
