1200 ln/mm grating: | H-alpha | 6320-6920 Ang range |
H-beta | 4465-5075 Ang range |
The capabilities of the B&C spectrograph + first-light CCD camera used at the highest dispersion (i.e. with the 1200 ln/mm grating for a 1.0 Ang/pix dispersion and 2.0 Ang resolution) are documented by spectra in the H-alpha and H-beta regions of CH Cyg (a V=9.0 mag AGB star heavily interacting with a white dwarf companion) and associated comparison spectra. |

H-beta | 6 min expt | incl. 18 deg, 200 micron slit, 1998 Aug 25, UT 21:10 |
