Description

The 0.6 M Optical Craftsmen (OC) telescope is a robotic instrument operated by the UC in association with the AAVSO (American Association of Variable Star Observers). The cassegrain focus is at f/16. Due to its fork mounting, only the direct camera and the photometers can be used on the Optical Craftsman Telescope. The telescope is normally reserved for photometry. UC researchers may request CCD photometric observations on this telescope.
