1. 2013-Oct-3-22Installation of RBT/PST2 in Winer Observatory. 2. 2013-Aug-22-28Packing and preparing the telescope and spectrograph for transportation to Winer Observatory in Arizona. 3. 2013-Aug-11First stability tests of our spectrograph with dedicated iodine cell attached to the telescope. 4. 2012-May-28The new spectrograph of RBT/PST2 has been installed into a thermostatic box inside the dome. Last night "first light" has been acquired - the first night stellar spectrum (of Arcturus) with RBT/PST2. 5. 2011-Nov-14A new mast with weather station and all-sky camera has been installed.
6. 2011-Jul-17A video monitoring system has been launched inside and outside the dome.
7. 2011-Jun-19The new telescope moving to find horizontal home switch position.
8. 2011-Jun-13The new telescope has been installed inside the dome. 9. 2011-Jun-12The new telescope has just arrived in huge boxes. 10. 2011-Mar-15First light of a fully assembled new echelle spectrograph constructed for the GATS project. In the left picture optical layout of spectrograph elements is presented. Next one shows one of the first, a bit out of focus, flat lamp spectrum (made with Canon camera). The final picture shows primary constructor of the spectrograph - dr Faig Musaev (right) and head of the GATS project - dr Krzysztof Kaminski (left) standing in front of the spectrograph during first tests in a dark room. 11. 2011-Jan-18Our new robotic dome is ready to host a telescope. This is a special model with a door to get inside from the ground (necessary only during a test phase). 12. 2011-Jan-17Second day of construction, photo by Michał Kałużny. Time-lapse video shows two days of work, video by Michał Kałużny.
13. 2011-Jan-16First day of construction, photos by Michał Kałużny. 14. 2011-Jan-15Construction of a 5.5m dome in our testing place in Poznań began today. 15. 2010-Nov-26A foundation is ready and waiting for a new dome. In the picture it is covered by a first snow this year. A net of ditches have been created for optical fibres to connect a new telescope with Internet and for video monitoring system. 16. 2010-Nov-10A first ditch has been created for power and communication cables. You can see our old 20cm Zeiss building in the background. 17. 2010-Nov-04A hole has been dug into the ground of our park. Soon a foundation for our new 5.5m dome will be constructed here. 18. 2010-Nov-02Construction of a foundation in our testing place in Poznań has begun today. |
