The design of an OH airglow suppressor spectrograph for use on the University of Hawaii 2.2 m telescope is presented. The unique feature of the pre-optics system for low resolution spectroscopy in the 1.1 to 1.8 micrometers range is the capability of removing most of the intense OH emission lines by a specially designed spectroscopic mask. With the OH suppressor spectrography, the background flux is reduced to about 1/30 the natural background on the average. The sensitivity gain in terms of limiting magnitude is expected to be approximately 1.5 mag, compared with the conventional method.
