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. |
