The telescope employs a Ritchey-Chrétien optical system, which remains one of the most popular designs among scientists and astrophotographers.
The observatory was constructed following all scientific building principles. For example, it features two independent foundations: one supports the tower structure, while the other – the pillar on which the telescope is mounted under the dome. This design isolates the telescope from vibrations caused by activity in the tower's rooms.
The observation room is shielded with multi-layer insulation to maintain stable temperatures, preventing thermal updrafts and image distortion.
Beyond its primary rotation and opening functions, the observatory dome can rotate its shutters and hold them at any angle. This feature is particularly useful for observing fast-moving celestial objects.
Now the cosmos will reveal its secrets to all who seek them. Humanity has always sought to understand what lies beyond Earth and draw closer to the stars. Today, you have that opportunity!
