Description

DADOS® – a slit spectrograph made by Baader
developed at the Max-Planck-Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching

The first draft of the DADOS®-slit spectrograph was based on our simple Blaze grating, which we had made for schools for more than 20 years. When we unveiled the prototype of the DADOS® some years ago, we listened closely to the following online-discussions, which lead to several large changes in the design of the product.

So, many ideas and critics from active spectroscopists were incorporated in the design of the DADOS®. We are very grateful for all feedback, because we are sure that the final product has become much better because of this.

DADOS® is designed for telescopes with about f/10 or slower. Faster apertures will cause some vignetting. The spectral resolution is not affected by this in any way.
