The 60cm telescope of the Naturwissenschaftliche Verein
This telescope is situated about 25 km east of Osnabrück.
It is protected by a massive dome of 6.5 meters diameter.
Its coordinates are:
Latitude: N 52° 15' 14,7";
Longitude: E 8° 19' 27,7";
Height: 219 m
The telescope
The telescope is a classical Cassegrain with a mirror of 60 cm diameter and a focal length of 7460 mm.
The detector
At the moment, we use a CCD camera ST-6 of the firm Santa Barbara Instrument Group. That gives an area of 3 x 3.9 arcmin with a pixel resolution of 0.62 x 0.74 arcsec.
At the moment we have no standard (BVRI) filters yet and integration times are limited to about 60s.
However the weather during the time of the ASTRONOMY ON-LINE project is not so very favourable at our station. Nevertheless we intend to contribute with observations to this project.
