Description
We present internal proper motion measurements of more than five hundred positions of NGC 2392, based on images acquired with the WFPC2 on bord of the Hubble Space Telescope for two epochs separated by 8.805 yr. We measured the amount of motion of local structures in the nebula determining their relative shift during that interval. We compared two different methods to determine the proper motions. Using those proper motions and the radial velocity taken from high-resolution spectroscopic observations, we were able to estimate a distance of 1050 pc.

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
