Comet Bennett (1970II) was observed with an ultraviolet spectrometer on the OAO-2 spacecraft during April 1970 The instrument consisted of a plane grating, a parabolic mirror, a slit, and a photomultiplier tube. The exit slit provided a 2′ x 8′ rectangular field-of-view and a 23 A bandpass. At this resolution emission features such as OH λ3090 and CN λ3883 were essentially monochromatic. Since the instrument had no entrance slit, movement of the grating produced a shift in the field of view, with 1 arc min of spatial offset corresponding to a 10 A wavelength shift.
