For several years now the 60-cm telescope at Pic du Midi has been made available to amateur astronomers. We felt that this telescope, which fulfils its role of gatherering light very well, could be fitted with equipment to analyze light. To this end the members of the Teachers and Astronomers Liaison Committee (which includes one of the authors of this communication) collaborated in producing and perfecting a spectrograph suitable for the T.60.

Of basic construction, this equipment enables spectra to be recorded on photographic cassettes. It should be transported to the summit at the end of 1987, and will then be available for any amateur projects that may want to use it.
