Instrument Needs - SparsePak Bench spectrograph (SPSPKB, SPSPKR)

Multiple Configurations Requested No
Detector Choice STA1
Camera Select Bench Spectrograph Camera
Configuration Needs SparsePak with the echelle 316@63.4 grating. We would like the X19 interference
filter, order 8, and the red camera. The central wavelength should be ~6700A.
We need good focus from 6549A to as far in the red as possible. The focus
blueward of 6549A is not critical. The ThAr calibration lamp is needed for
wavelength calibrations with the echelle grating.
Wavelength Order for (WIYN Bench Spectrograph Grating List) 8
Choice/s for: (WIYN Bench Spectrograph Grating List) 316@63.4
Choice/s for: (BENCH SPECTROGRAPH FILTERS) X19
