Descripción
The 1.5m solar telescope GREGOR is being constructed at Tenerife, Spain. Its purpose is to observe with high spatial and spectral resolution small-scale dynamic magnetic features on the Sun. The telescope is completely open with retractable dome and actively cooled primary mirror made of silicon carbide to minimize thermal effects on the image quality. After completion it will be one of the most powerful solar telescopes. This paper presents a general overview of the telescope characteristics and the current status.
