Scientific paper

In recent years there has been a trend toward the automation of modest sized observatories, especially those involved with photoelectric photometry. Although undoubtedly useful, there is clearly a need for more advanced instrumentation such as spectrographs. The relatively small telescope sizes places severe limits on the choice of spectrograph configuration. A fiber-fed echelle spectrograph is arguably the most suitable design for these applications. Presented here is a brief discussion of the design philosophy and operating principles. Both theoretical and measured performance data for the prototype University of Queensland Echelle Spectrograph are also presented.
