... Iowa Robotic Telescope | ... Talon is based on OCAAS, a software suite developed by software engineer Elwood Downey ( Clear Sky Institute ) for use at the University of Iowa ?s first remote facility (the ATF, or Automated Telescope Facility). ... XObservatory : Telescope Control Interface . ... This program calls upon and coordinates much of the interrelated portions of the Talon architecture, and forms the primary control panel for the telescope, dome, and peripheral systems when used locally. ...

TUI supports the following offsets: . Object Arc offset by a given amount on the sky (i.e. along the arc of a great circle). ... Arc offsets are useful for moving a different portion of your object or a different nearby object onto the boresight . ... Object Arc XY this is identical to an Object offset except that it has been rotated to align along the instrument x-y axes. ... This is just like the Calibration XY offset, except that it is typically cleared when you slew to a new object. ...

... Telescopes . ... On February 4, 2016, the Jubilee conference dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the first observations on the 6-m BTA telescope took place at SAO RAS. ... Afterwards, Igor D.Karachentsev shared his memories of the first observations at the BTA. ... One of the first SAO RAS astronomers Eugene L.Chentsov outlined the first steps of stellar spectroscopy at BTA and Vladimir E.Panchuk in detail described the instruments and stellar spectroscopy technique at the 6-m telescope. ...

Next: The Computer Hardware Up: The Care and Previous: Introduction . ... The weather is not as bad as one might expect, base on statistics from 1991 through 1993 one can expect about 120 usable nights a year with about thirty of those being totally cloudless. ... This, along with the fact that the telescope drive motor is misgeared, made it difficult for the telescope to collect research data. ... The dome houses a 14" Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that was installed in 1981. ...

... While "First Light" was achieved at the second 8.2-m VLT Unit Telescope (UT2) ahead of schedule, UT1 produced its sharpest image so far. ... It had long been ESO's intention to provide "real" names to the four VLT Unit Telescopes, to replace the current, somewhat dry and technical designations as UT1 to UT4. ... The participants were left with the impression of mounting expectations, just four weeks before the first VLT Unit Telescope, Antu (UT1), will receive the first visiting astronomers. ...

... The real-time system for astronomical observations on the telescopes of the virtual observatory from ICAMER, SAO RAS, and BNO INR RAS . ... 81K Three large astronomical observatories-- ICAMER, SAO and BNO JNR RAS- are located in the compact area of the Northern Caucasus. ... The unification and synchronization of data-flows from these telescopes will allow one to carry out astronomical observations at a new level and to realize a virtual observatory with new capabilities for space research. ...

The "21-inch" (0.52 meter) Moore reflector celebrated its 50th year in 2005, just prior to retirement from its role as our primary research instrument. ... The primary telescope and its mounting were designed and constructed by the Louisville Astronomical Society between 1935 to 1955. The telescope is named for Walter L. Moore, who was responsible for coordinating its construction, and who tested and figured its primary mirror. ... It is presently stored at Moore Observatory. ...

... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...

... Contacting and discussing with people sharing your interests, participating in night sky observations with telescopes as well as a large choice of astronomical books, magazines and video-tapes out of our club library. ... The seasons, the seeing ( a clear sky is not always associated to calm , stable air ) and most important how dark your observation site is. ... Therefore a dark site for observing is at least as important for deep sky observation as the diameter of your scope. ...
