Abstract

We report design of acousto-optic imaging spectrometer for spectral and polarimetric photometry and commis- sioning of the instrument at 0.6-m F/12.5 telescope at the Southern Astronomical Station of Lomonosov Moscow State University. The spectrometer was operating over the spectral range 3800–5800 Å with the passband of 10 Å at the wavelength of 5000 Å The imaging spectrometer could be used for observations of objects with the minimum brightness of 12.5 mag (for 0.6-m telescope, 120 s exposition, and SNR∼10). Spatial resolution of the spectrometer was estimated better than 1.2”, and the field of view was ∼250”.
