QUESTION: Do you have other telescopes on board? ANSWER from Ben Burress on May 10: Other than the main telescope, there are no other "research" telescopes on board the KAO. However, mounted at the front of the main telescope frame are two smaller telescopes used for finding the star field of interest and for video star tracking. One is a large refracting zoom lens with a low-light-level video camera attached. This is the acquisition camera, and is used to roughly locate the region of the sky containing the research object of interest. This camera/telescope system sends images through the observatory's video system, where it can be viewed from several different locations--including, of course, the tracking station, where we Observing Assistants work. The size of the area this camera produces (the field of view) ranges from three degrees to ten degrees across, depending on the setting of the zoom lens. The other small telescope attached to the main telescope is an eight inch cassegrain reflector, also with a video camera attached. The field of view produced by this instrument is about one half degree across--about the size of the full moon. This is the telescope used for fine pointing of the telescope, and for correcting small motions (jitters, drift, vibration) of the main telescope system through video tracking on a star (a computer digitizes the image of a single star in this field and maintains that star at a desired location by sending signals to the telescope's electro-magnet motors whenever the track star moves from that spot).
