Cassegrain Telescope 500/7500 mm (1964) |
CCD Camera type SBIG
STL11000M, (KAI-11000M, 36.1 x 24.7 mm, 11 million pixels, 4008
x 2745, 9 x 9 µ)
), with UBVRI filter system (Johnson photometric system) ![]() |
Prin-Merz double Astrograph 380/6000 mm |
Photographic plates of 24 x 24 cm are used; the instrument has a
field of 2 x 2 deg. The plates are measured on an Ascorecord
machine (0.1). |
Great Meridian Circle (190/2350 mm) |
The instrument has two declination circles each of 1 m diameter,
divided at every 5'. The telescope is endowed with an impersonal
micrometer. The collimation of the optical axis is measured by
means of two meridian marks located at about 80-100 m from the
instrument.![]()
