VOITSEKHOVICH, V. V.; ORLOV, V. G.; SANCHEZ, L. J.  and  GARFIAS, F.. Investigation of the 1-m telescope guiding at the OAN-Tonantzintla. Rev. mex. astron. astrofis [online]. 2007, vol.43, n.2, pp.309-314. ISSN 0185-1101.

The results of experimental investigations of the 1-m telescope guiding at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional (OAN), Tonantzintla, México are presented. The observations have been carried out with the Dragon instrument which allows to record sets of short-exposure images. The analysis of the data obtained has shown that there are three types of telescope guiding errors: linear trend, telescope vibrations, and telescope jumps.
