ORLOV, V. G.; HIRIART, D.  and  VOITSEKHOVICH, V. V.. Investigation of the 0.84-M telescope guiding at the OAN-SPM. Rev. mex. astron. astrofis [online]. 2014, vol.50, n.1, pp.87-92. ISSN 0185-1101.

We report the results of experimental investigations of the 0.84-m telescope guiding at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional at Sierra San Pedro Mártir, Mexico. The observations were carried out with an EMCCD Andor Luca-S camera which allows one to record sets of short-exposure images. The analysis of the data shows that three types of telescope guiding errors are present: linear trend, telescope vibrations, and telescope jumps.

Keywords : instrumentation [high angular resolution]; techniques [image processing]; telescopes.
