Vidulini Observatory

It is a complex system of observation and study of the Sun in a wide spectrum of electromagnetic radiation - Solar Observatory.

The basis of the system is computer-guided, robotic, autonomous assembly type Meade LX 200, tracking the apparent movement of the sun in the sky. Special adapter on it were placed opto-electronic components - solar telescopes and cameras for observation and study of the Sun in different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The three telescopes for observation and recording of which one obvious area for EMS, H-alpha region and even the area. The fourth telescope with an appropriate filter for the sun and the camera is designed for positioning and adjustment of monitoring the motion of the Sun in the sky. Antenna assembly with controllable and receiver and computers exist as a separate module ORTO system.

All put together on a massive pillar of the carrier. These devices are suitable cables connected to electrical power and computer-center management system, recording, processing and archiving data.

ORTO fully robotized system with the possibility of the activation and processing of data through the internet (Phase II).

The system is designed for education and scientific research.

Capacity of the system allows its easy upgrade or redevelopment for other purposes. For example, setting a new module (telescope and camera) to explore the Moon meteorite impact on the existing installation had one of the few such systems in the world. So ORTO noticeable sun during the day and at night - the moon.

In addition ORTO has ability to upgrade over time with other instruments.

In addition to the visual component in the system ORTO include Ortho-NG, radio-astronomical device for research in the field of solar radio waves. Prototype versions of this device have been successfully tested in 2005. and 2006. year.

Exhaustively list of capital equipment systems ORTO. Of course, even here we should not forget the man as a key factor without whose curiosity, will, desire and work there would be no need for research and observations. The system is at the stage of equipment! Temporary use elements VSX NEXT, NEXT EXO and robot systems (and others) for ORTO.
