Siding Spring 2.3 m Telescope
- Siding Spring 2.3 m Telescope
The 2.3 m Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory is operated by the Australian National University. The 2.3m Advanced Technology Telescope was constructed during the early 1980s and featured at-the-time radical features: an alt-az mount and co-rotating dome.
Instrumentation includes:
* The Double Beam Spectrograph
* Nasmyth Imager
* Cassegrain IR imager (CASPIR)
and currently in design is an integral field spectrograph - WiFeS
The telescope is a workhorse for numerous large programs where it is used to winnow down candidate objects for more extensive observation at larger telescopes and is a valuable tool for training graduate students in the at-times black arts of observing
