Scientific paper

We are a small team of amateur astronomers interested in spectral observations. This paper describes a home-made low resolution bench spectrograph linked to a 25 cm Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with an optical fibre. We can observe stars up to V magnitude 5 in 20 minutes exposure time and get spectra with a signal to noise ratio of 10 at 5000 of resolving power. The data reduction is carried out with MIDAS and is available on-line. The telescope is controlled with a home-improved xephem program. Solar observations of the Corona for the August 11th Solar Eclipse are planned.
