Abstract
We present the scanned digital images and their preliminary analysis results of objective-prism plates taken with the Michigan Curtis Schmidt telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. In order to separate an individual spectrum of a star, it should be required to identify each field star in the plate. Using the PPM(Position and Proper Motion) catalog, we are verifying which star corresponds to the spectrum in a plate. In addition to this, we plan to devise the method for wavelength calibration in each spectrum. Finally we will make them for public use, not only for professional astronomers but also for high school and college students for encouraging them to be interested in the astronomy, especially astronomical spectroscopy and stellar astronomy.
