2) Quick reference specifications and operating options
a) Gratings:
All the gratings are 128 x 154 mm 1st-order blazed plane reflection gratings. The Lowell
DeVeny grating complement is shown in Table I. A preliminary assessment of instrumental
efficiency vs. grating is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. On-sky measured DeVeny efficiency vs. grating. The vertical line at 6000 A shows where 2nd-order
leakage would begin for unfiltered spectra. The spectra were taken with a 5 arcsec wide slit, on 20150507, of
