Scientific paper

Low-noise Reticon spectra of the moon and two Hyades G dwarfs are used to derive the metallicity of the Hyades Cluster. The relative temperatures of the sun and the Hyades stars are determined from the wings of their H-alpha profiles, and iron abundances are based on weak Fe I lines. The spectroscopic result is an Fe/H ratio of 0.20 + or - 0.1, in good agreement with photometric determinations of the Hyades metallicity. The B-V color of the sun is inferred to be 0.64 + or 0.02.
