UVEX is a cross Czerny-Turner spectrograph optimised for wavelengths from near UV (<400 nm) to near IR (1 µm).
We recommend using an ASI 183MM pro camera with the UVEX spectrograph.
It is particularly designed for use on Ritchey-Chretien type telescopes with a diameter of up to 12 or 14 inches (at F/8).
The settings are precise and easily accessible:
A multi-turn knob adjusts the focus of the M2 internal mirror precisely.
An index is used to adjust the wavelength centre of the spectrum on the camera sensor. A vernier (available for each type of grating) makes it possible to precisely position the grating at the desired wavelength.
The UVEX is delivered with a 600 gr/mm grating blazed at 500nm as well as an adaptor ring for ZWO cameras (other rings for QHY and ATIK cameras are also available as an option).
The spectrograph slit has 5 positions that can be easily changed using a Phillips screwdriver (supplied with the UVEX). The slit positions are 25 µm, 50 µm, 100 µm, 300 µm and a hole of 25 µm. Other slits are available as an option and Alpy slits are compatible with UVEX.
A shockproof carrying case is supplied with the UVEX. It has pre-cut locations to safely transport the spectrograph with its camera, as well as various accessories (additional networks, order filter, tools, etc.).
