SDSS Spectrographs

The two Sloan Digital Sky Survey Spectrographs mounted on the instrument rotator of the SDSS 2.5 m telescope (the telescope is pointed at the horizon). The square black openings accept the fiber optics slitheads, 320 fibers each. The silver box attached to the far spectrograph contains the guider electronics. Photo by Gretchen van Doren.
