We present first science results and spectra obtained with the fully
robotic STELLA (STELLar Activity) facility in Tenerife.  The first of
its two 1.2m telescopes and its high-resolution echelle spectrograph
went into science verification in summer this year.  Its core aim is
to provide time-series Doppler images of selected active stars over
the star’s entire activity cycle.  We present first preliminary
Doppler images and compare this to previous mapping results.  An
outlook for the future capabilities of this facility once it is fully
operational is given.
