Abstract
Two detector systems, recently developed at the Royal Greenwich Observatory, have undergone tests on the coudé spectrograph of the 30-inch telescope at Herstmonceux. The first is an intensified Reticon system, used in a photon counting mode; the second is a directly illuminated, cooled CID.
