The performance of the Queen's University Belfast echelle spectrograph (McKeith et al., 1978) and a Royal Greenwich Observatory (RGO) CCD camera on the 90-cm Yapp telescope at RGO is evaluated experimentally in high-dispersion observations of the 589.0-nm and 589.6-nm D lines of Na in the bright stars Alpha Cyg and Alpha Boo during June-July 1984. The results are presented graphically, and the system is found to have dispersion about 1.0 A/mm, signal/noise about 80 for a 15-min exposure of Alpha Cyg and about 100 for a 5-min exposure of Alpha Boo, and resolving power about 100,000.
