The knife edge idea would work.... I rather like the diaphragm idea though..It effectively hides everything other than the star image going through the SA. You can quickly estimate the size of the hole required from the distance between the grating and the CCD and the focal ratio.
Think about it; no "extra" star images to contaminate the spectra and no additional spectra of other stars.........
