We describe a conceptual design for a wide field, multi-object,
moderate-resolution optical spectrograph (known as GMACS) for
the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). The crucial design drivers for
the instrument are high throughput, simultaneous
wide wavelength coverage over the entire optical window,
and accurate and precise sky subtraction.
The range of science projects enabled by the instrument is huge: from
mineralogical studies of distant asteroids and KBOs to stellar
population studies of high redshift galaxies.
