CCDSPEC
Elliott Instruments new CCDSPEC has been specially designed for amateur astronomers and small observatories, to take scientifically useful spectra of astronomical objects from stars and nebulae, to the red-shifts of galaxies and supernovae.
The instrument can be used with most astronomical CCD cameras, so this is ideal for those amateurs who already have their own CCD camera.
CCDSPEC has a slit viewing port, to enable the star or galaxy to be placed on the slit and to allow guiding for long exposures, needed for faint objects.
Guiding can be either manual via an eyepiece or by an auto-guider attached to the slit viewing port.

The instrument is essentially
“Plug and Play” apart from
focussing, as the slit and dispersion are fixed and the input and
output apertures are the standard M42 x
0.75 T mount.
The CCDSPEC is supplied with PCSpectra software for analysis and
display of your data.
