  We present results from the commissioning and early science programs of
FIDEOS, the new high-resolution echelle spectrograph developed at the Centre of
Astro Engineering of Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, and recently
installed at the ESO 1m telescope of La Silla. The instrument provides spectral
resolution R = 43,000 in the visible spectral range 420-800 nm, reaching a
limiting magnitude of 11 in V band. Precision in the measurement of radial
velocity is guaranteed by light feeding with an octagonal optical fibre,
suitable mechanical isolation, thermal stabilisation, and simultaneous
wavelength calibration. Currently the instrument reaches radial velocity
stability of = 8 m/s over several consecutive nights of observation.
