Abstract
A high performance fiber fed spectrograph for Manastash Ridge Observatory is necessary to carry out thorough astronomical observations. The proposed spectrograph will utilize cutting edge technologies in fiber optics, microlenses, and detectors to produce a singularly unique astronomical instrument. The front end of this instrument will allow for the ability to switch between imaging and spectroscopy within seconds. This spectrograph will complete the host of standard instrumentation at MRO.
