ES2 DESCRIPTION


Description:
A low-to-moderate resolution spectrometer (600-2,500). The CCD detectors are CC1 and TI1. TI1 should be used for the blue region and CC1 for the red. Various gratings are available to provide wavelength coverage from 0.3 to 1.1 microns. The spectrometer has long slit (120 arcsec) capability. There is a selection of slits of predetermined sizes from 0.5 to 12 arcsec. Limiting magnitude mv = 18 mag. The STAR 1 CCD guider system provides remote guiding, but not autoguiding. Either Guider system can be used to guide off the slit or in an offset mode.
