Hello Sebastien,

Have you seen my junk box spectrograph?

http://www.threehillsobservatory.co.uk/ ... opy_19.htm

This uses an eyepiece as a collimator and camera lens ans standard adapters. It uses a low dispersion 200l/mm grating so the angle is small enough for everything to be in a straight line. With your 600l/mm grating you would need a wedge prism to keep the beam straight (like the ALPY). You could also add a slit but the problem then is putting the star on the slit, focusing it and guiding is difficult. You really need to add a guider module once you add a slit

Cheers
Robin

It is a 55mm to 42mm (T2) step ring. I bought it here

The parts were from my "junk box" collection. I think this is the eyepiece

I cannot find the exact T2/1.25 adapter but perhaps this could be used

It screws into the centre of the T2 male/male adapter

Hello robin,

if I summarize for this spectro it is necessary in order from the photo lens

1 ) adapteur 55m / 42 mm

2 ) adapter T2 male / male

3) in the adapter T2 male/ male there are ring T2- 1,25'' with the star analyser 200 mm

4 ) adapter T2 female/ female

5 ) eyepièce 40 mm

It is exactly ?

The T2/1.25 inch adapter is not the same as mine. I just used what I had in my junk box. If you are buying all the adapters I can suggest a simpler set

Camera lens with 55mm female

55 male - T2 female

T2 male - T2 female extension tube
https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/pr ... ength.html

T2 male with 1.25 inch hole for SA200 mounted inside the extension tube
https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/pr ... lters.html

40mm eyepiece with T2 male

Cheers
