FTN position

Posted February 22nd, 2010 by EUHOU.fr2

Hi all, hi Sarah, the telescope is still there at the last pointed position from one night to another, or he takes a fixed postions wait?
Cheers

Hi Andre,

Once all the real time slots are finished, the telescope takes flat field images to help calibrate the observations, and then it's parked pointing straight upwards. So it won't be at the same position the next night as it finished at the previous night.

Thanks,

Sarah
