Modernization of the BAO NAS RA 1-m Schmidt Telescope
The modernization of the 1-m Schmidt telescope of the Byurakan Astrophysical
Observatory (NAS of Armenia) is finished. A new control system has been
created, a CCD detector (4kx4k, readout noise of 11 e, pixel size of
9 μm (0.89 arcsec), field of view of about 1 sq. degree) with
fluid cooling and a set of 21 midband, 5 broadband, and 3 narrowband
filters has been installed in the telescope focus. First images have
been received.
