Low Resolution Spectrum of M42

In order to understand which kind of objects can be observed, I try to find out what is the limiting magnetudes for the LHiRes III. To improve the sensitivity I ordered a 150 lines / mm grid which has been used with a 100m slit. Attached please find a spectra of M42 (together with one star of the central Trapez -Region)

The spectra has been taking using the telescopes of the Hans Ludwig Neuman Sternwarte. This observatory is operated by the Physikalischer Verein

A wavelength calibration has not been performed and is in this particular case not required. H-Alpha is the dominating line located as pixel 585. As well O [iii][ is located at pixel 318. A flux-calibration has also not yet been performed. This has a direct impact on the lineratios.
