Descripción
The Advanced Solar Technology Telescope (ATST) is a 4-m solar telescope
being designed for high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution, as
well as IR and low-scattered light observations. The overall limit of
performance of the telescope is strongly influenced by the qualities of
the site at which it is located. Six sites were tested with a seeing
monitor and a sky brightness instrument for 1.5 to 2 years. The sites
were Big Bear (California), Haleakala (Hawaii), La Palma (Canary
Islands, Spain), Panguitch Lake (Utah), Sacramento Peak (New Mexico),
and San Pedro Martir (Baja California, Mexico). In this paper we will
describe the methods and results of the site survey, which chose
Haleakala as the location of the ATST.
