Scientific Instrumentation


Telescope Technologies Limited supplies both state-of-the-art imaging cameras specified for the most demanding scientific requirements and a highly-sensitive autoguider system. All instrumentation meets the requirements of robotic operation.

Some examples of scientific instruments designed and built by TTL:

Filter-wheel

Filter-Wheel

The TTL Filter-Wheel has two wheels each with 5 positions.
Each position can either support a 100mm diameter Bessell UBVRI filter or be left clear, and is capable of independent operation.

Autoguider

Autoguider

The TTL Autoguider unit sends guide corrections to a Telescope Control System. The system is based upon a thermoelectrically cooled 1024x1024 pixel frame transfer CCD with a pixel size of 13.5 µm square. It is self-contained and is capable of guiding on a V=17 star in a dark sky and 1 arc second seeing, with a 2 second integration time.
