Abstract

We present the preliminary design of Cerberus, a new scientific instrument for the alt-az, 80cm OARPAF telescope in the Ligurian mountains above Genoa, Italy. Cerberus will provide three focal stations at the Nasmyth focus, allowing: imaging and photometry with standard Johnson-Cousins UBVRI+Ha+Free filters, an on-axis guiding camera, and a tip-tilt lens for image stabilization up to 10Hz; long slit spectroscopy at R 5900 thanks to a LHIRES III spectrograph provided with a 1200l/mm grism; \'echelle spectroscopy at R 9300 using a FLECHAS spectrograph with optical fiber.<br />Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures. Submitted to Proceedings of SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation 2020
