Description
The CCD meridian circle of San Fernando (CMASF) is installed in the Carlos U. Cesco observatory in San Juan (Argentina) at 69° W, 31° S and 2300 m of altitude. It is operated jointly by the Real Instituto y Observatorio de la Armada (ROA) and the Observatorio Astronómico Félix Aguilar (OAFA). In December 1999, a CCD camera was installed in the instrument. Since then, the sky band with declinations between +3° and -55° has been observed in order to publish a catalogue of positions and magnitudes of the stars brighter than V=16. In this paper, the first results of a preliminar catalogue with the stars in the band +3° to -15° are shown.

    HARMONI at ELT: HIPOTEC electronics and control system
    HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a large spectral range from 470nm to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3300 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60 mas to 4 mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - SCAO (including a High Contrast capability) and LTAO - or with NOAO. The

    GTCAO low-frequency tip-tilt offload to M2
    GTCAO is the instrument that implements Adaptive Optics on GTC. For atmospheric turbulence correction, GTCAO uses a deformable mirror. Unlike other AO systems, GTCAO does not include a dedicated mirror for low-frequency tip-tilt (TT) correction. In the absence of dedicated correction, the TT components of atmospheric turbulence are corrected by the
