Discover your Alpy 600
1.1 Out of the box
When you receive your Alpy 600, it is assembled
in slit configuration, ready for mounting on a tele-
scope and for imaging with a CCD camera. The pack-
age contains the Alpy 600, as well as a tool set and a
CD.
1.2 Technical specifications
The Alpy 600 specifications are given in table 1.1,
and dimensions are given in figure 1.1. In addition,
the table 1.2 gives the wavelength covered depending
on the CCD length.
