Astronomical Spectrograph Spectra L200

The astronomical Spectra L200 spectrograph is a kit designed and sold by Ken Harrison. A Littrow spectroscope kit, the Spectra-L200 is for amateurs moving from the basic Star Analyser/ Rainbow Optic grating to their first slit spectroscope. It is only available to members of the astronomical spectroscopy Y! group.

Ken Harrison is the owner of the Yahoo! astronomical_spectroscopy Astronomical Spectroscopy for Amateurs group.

This web page shows work-in-progress of building and testing the Spectra L200. Below are photos of the unpainted Spectra L200 that was put together to check mechanical fit and optical alignment.
