| contents | We present the construction and early results of ESPARTACO 2, the new stellar spectrograph built for research and education at the Astronomical Observatory of the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia. This instrument offers several resolutions from 20,000 in first order using a 50 $μ$m fiber, to 100,000 in second order in the near infrared. Precise radial-velocity measurements are made possible by simultaneous wavelength calibration. Combined with the 40-cm Meade telescope located at our facilities, a limiting magnitude of 6 is reached. This instrument is a considerable improvement over its predecessor in throughput, reliability and ease. |
