The UiA telescope
| At the roof of the science building sits an observatory. It was officially inaugurated on Tuesday 8. June 2004, the same day as the Venus passage took place. The observatory contains a telescope of type Mead LX200 10. It is a mirror telescope with a focal length of 2500 mm and an aperture of 254 mm. On the telescope is fixed a lens telescope of type Sky-Watcher 3,1, with a web camera at the end. This telescope has a focal length of 400 mm, and the aperture is 80 mm. The web camera is a Philips ToUcam PRO II, with a resolution of 1,2 megapixels. The camera lens is removed, thus the telescopic image is projected direct onto the CCD chip. |
