A new control system for the 1-m telescope with remote control
possibility for the observation process
In 2013, the creation of a control system for the multitask 1-m ZEISS-1000
telescope was completed in SAO RAS, allowing the use
of the telescope's observational capabilities in the modes of local and
remote control. Without stopping the instrument, the servo motors and
position sensors on the telescope's axes were replaced. This allowed
increasing the pointing accuracy of the telescope by several times
(up to 5-7 for each axis) and improving the tracking quality. The use
of intelligent digital drives connected via an industrial fieldbus made
it possible to guide the telescope with varied speed when studying
fast-moving objects.

FITS 3.0-compatible archive of direct images with astrometric
calibration
We used our program package to conduct mass corrections of the FITS-header
keywords in accordance with the FITS 3.0 standard for all files
(~120 thousand) of the local SCORPIO archive, which is included
in the general observational data archive of SAO RAS. For direct
SCORPIO images (~22 thousand frames), astrometric calibration based
on the HST GSC, USNO-A2, 2MASS PSC, GSC-2.3 or SDSS-III catalogs was
implemented with an accuracy of up to 0.2". Based on the processing
results, the local archive SCORPIO-ó was created, which can be accessed
from the web using the search system of
the general observational
data archive.
