The
UCI Observatory
 |
The UCI Observatory is located in the fields on the outskirts
of campus. The observatory's main computer-controlled telescope
has a 24-inch primary mirror and 8.5-inch secondary mirror.
The telescope can be operated with The Sky, an interactive
software program developed by Software Bisque. More commonly,
the telescope is operated in person or remotely via the ethernet
with our linux-based control program. Installed at the Cassagrain
focus are a variety of eyepieces, an electronic camera, and
a spectrograph. People can view astronomical objects such
as planets, star clusters, planetary nebulae and galaxies
with the eyepieces. Scientific observations are made with
an imaging camera or spectrograph. The imaging camera has
an SBIG ST-9E CCD with a field-of-view of 7 arcmin x 7 arcmin.
