Descripción
STELLA is a robotic observatory with two fully automatic telescopes
(STELLA-I and STELLA-II) located at the Teide Observatory in Tenerife,
Spain. Not only the telescopes are automatic but also the entire
observatory, no human presence is needed for observing - not even in
remote control. STELLA-I supports a high-resolution, fiber-fed and
bench-mounted echelle spectrograph and a wide-field CCD imaging
photometer while STELLA-II feeds a similar but wide-band imaging
photometer and a testbed for prototype adaptive optics for robotic
telescopes. The first telescope is scheduled for first light in November
2004, the second telescope for March 2005.
