Lesedi HRS Project Wiki
- This wiki is for construction of a high-resolution spectrograph on the 1-m Lesedi telescope in Sutherland. We anticipate future wikis for the user manual and for technical support.
- The SAAO and Christian Schwab (Macquarie Univ. and AAO) are collaborating on the project.
- The instrument is based on a design that Christian modified from NEID, an innovative HRS for use on the 3.5-m WIYN (https://neid.psu.edu/). We are hoping to reach a few m/sec accuracies for radial velocity measurements on Lesedi.

Documentation
- Add notes from Christian's emails here
- Detector notes and discussions
- Rough purchasing list from Chris' visit 03/2018. He can likely supply the prism, collimator, and fiber injection:
$35k bench optics $55k Echelle grating $3k fiber injection optics $30k collimator/ADC/refocus mechanism
