Future perspectives Upgrade of the telescope: 2 x 0.5m mirrors simultaneous exposure of two fibers better automatisation and remote control Upgrade of the calibration, some ideas: experiment - mixing the ThAr and stellar light V rad accuracy increase with a iodine cell spectral resolution increase with the EDI interferometer Radial velocity measurements: broadening function TODCOR spectral disentangling
