Description
In this contribution, the main characteristics of the=20 Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter (TIP), recently built at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, to be operated at the German Solar Telescopes (GCT and VTT) of the Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife) are presented. Especial emphasis is put on the modulation scheme, polarisation efficiencies, signal-to-noise ratio, spatial and spectral resolution, and instrumental polarisation cross-talk. Some examples of data recently obtained are presented, which give an idea of the performance and capabilities of this instrument.

    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
