Spectronebulagraph, an automated observation system of tridimensional spectroscopy with a long slit spectrograph, is now in operation at the 188 cm telescope of the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory. This system is based on the local area net work of personal computers which control the telescope, the autoguider, the Cassegrain spectrograph and its CCD camera. Effects of variable atmospheric transmission during scans of target objects are removed by performing a set of two orthogonal scans and the data processing.

A new spectrograph is now under development for the telescope. This instrument has multiple modes for tridimensional spectroscopy, i.e., the filter imagery mode, the imaging Fabry-Perot interferometer mode, a slit spectrograph mode for Spectronebulagraph, and the microlens array spectrograph (TIGER) mode. For the last mode, a dual preoptics to get simultaneously the sky background is introduced and achromatization of the microlenses is tried. This project is a part of development of a prototype instrument for the SUBARU telescope.
