Global Astrophysical Telescope System - test results from telescope nr 2

Krzysztof Kamiński, Wojciech Dimitrow, Monika Fagas and Magdalena Polińska

We present first results of observational examination of our new 0.7m spectroscopic telescope before and after its transportation to Winer Observatory in Arizona, USA. Spectrograph stability tests show that we should be able to achieve a precision of 20 m/s. Photometric tests using our diffraction technique, dedicated for very bright stars, prove that a precision of at least 0.005 mag is achievable.
