Nordic Optical Telescope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) is an astronomical telescope located at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma in the Canary Islands. The service building and dome of Nordic Optical Telescope situated above the clouds at the top of Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma. The NOT was the first major telescope facility to use active optics to correct the shape of a thin, lightweight primary mirror. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Nordic_Optical_Telescope   (216 words)

Lund Observatory For a telescope intended for use in the optical as well as in the infrared wavelength ranges, the design of the top end and the secondary mirror has to be discussed with special care. Taking into account all major parameters defining site quality for observations in the optical and infrared wavelength regions and, at thesame time, assigning high weight to image quality, it was decided to locate the telescope on the premises of the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos. The finder telescope is a refractor with a free aperture of 153 millimetres and a focal length of 2130 millimetres. www.astro.lu.se /Resources/NOT/proptxt.html   (11626 words)

Lucky imaging - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lucky imaging with the 2.56m Nordic Optical Telescope Images taken with ground based telescopes are subject to the blurring effect of atmospheric turbulence (seen to the human eye as the stars twinkling). Modern webcams and camcorders have the ability to capture rapid short exposures with sufficient sensitivity for astrophotography, and these devices are used with a telescope and the shift-and-add method from speckle imaging (also known as image stacking) to achieve previously unattainable resolution. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Lucky_Imaging   (469 words)

largest optical reflecting telescope Optical Telescopes -- The purpose of a telescope is to collect light and then to have the image magnified. The Keck telescope which can be found at the Mauna Kea observatory in Hawaii; it is the largest optical telescope in the world. The Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the Paranal Observatory (Atacama, Chile) will be the world's largest and most advanced optical telescope. www.telescopes-guide.com /largest-optical-reflecting-telescope   (583 words)

Bill Keel's Telescope Life List - La Palma The Isaac Newton telescope has a very efficient and flexible spectrograph, very important when the UK and Dutch communities were using it to compete with 4-meter telescopes elsewhere (a role now ably handled by the WHT). The optical spectrum showed absorption-line profiles inconsistent with the most obvious explanation of its colors, and that the nucleus must be (for whatever reason) loaded with A-type supergiant stars. The Dutch Open Telescope is designed to improve image quality by having the telescope open to the air as far as possible. www.astr.ua.edu /keel/telescopes/lapalma.html   (879 words)
