You could perhaps build an imaging spectrometer something like the NMSU Acousto-optic Imaging Camera (NAIC) used for planetary work ? No need to isolate a point in the field. Just use it like a tuneable filter, taking the whole field and imaging the output as the wavelength is swept to build up a data cube.

Sounds an ambitious project though !
