How to use inexpensive echelle spectrographs at your own observatory

Lukas Stock
Philipps University of Marburg

Out-of-the-shelf spectrographs can be an easy way to obtain own spectra without need to apply for observation time at big observatories. With access to much more spectra one can do both high cadence spectroscopy as well as e.g. education or outreach. I will present a way to use an inexpensive echelle spectrograph at an observatory in Germany and present a data reduction software especially build for those inexpensive spectrographs. The software is designed to be easy usable, especially useful for education, lab courses or outreach.
