Current
configuration: UBVRI photometry

|
The RRRT is
currently equipped for imaging photometry in UBVRI wavelengths.
We have a
STL-1001E SBIG CCD camera. However, there are other possibilities for cameras,
filters and spectrographs. We are currently building a imaging
polarimeter based on Savart plates.  Here

The RRRT can
be used on-site, remotely or robotically. We accept proposals for the
robotic use of the RRRT from anyone. The on-site and remote use of the
telescope is also possible, but it will be discussed in an individual
base (contact carlos@nsu.edu).
