Spectra-L200 set-up

Merlin66 (Ken) · #1 14-10-2010, 08:04 PM

Just some images of the "master sample" Spectra-L200 spectroscope mounted via a Vixen beamsplitter on the C9.25/ NEQ6pro.
The ST80/ QHY5 guide is for some illustrations for the Y! group ( to show the PHD/ Al's reticle arrangement for aquiring a target star onto the slit and guiding.) Usually the QHY5 sits on the Vixen.

One of the Spectra-L200 users has posted a nice set of images taken during the assembly of his spectroscope. Father and daughter team.
They may be of interest to others...

I hope she wasn't spray painting in that white top or mother would be mad......

I'm really looking forward to getting mine.

I'm in the middle of testing a Spectra-L200 fitted with a 1800 l/mm, blazed 50mm x 25mm grating.
This has a capability of R=10000 in an f10 beam.
Looking good so far!
