This New Horizons LOng Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) composite image shows the detection of PlutoтАЩs largest moon, Charon, cleanly separated from Pluto itself. Pluto is the brighter object near the center, and Charon is the fainter object near its 11 oтАЩclock position. The circles denote the predicted locations of the objects, showing that Charon is where the team expects it to be relative to Pluto. No other Pluto system objects are seen in these images. ...

... The derived position here agrees with the position from recent ATCA observations, RA=15h 01m 34.74s, Dec=39 18 39.2" (Tasker, private communication) which found the source unresolved. Because of the relatively large position offset, the reality of the fainter component 0.12" to the west is somewhat in doubt. However, the ATCA centroid position is offset by 0.3" to the south-east of the VLBA position, suggesting that the faint component may be part of more extended structure. ...

RTT150 . ... The primary mirror 1 reflects light to the secondary mirror 2 which sends the converging beam of light to the system of four flat mirrors 3, 4, 5 and 6. That allows the beam of light to leave the telescope strictly along its polar axis and be collected in Coude focus. ... That's why at any tube position (for any rotation along the declination axis) beam of light parallel to the principal axis after reflection on mirror 3 follows the direction of declination axis. ...
