Astronomy

The sodium guide star technology generates artificial guide stars at nearly any point in the sky down to elevation angles of less than 30°. Fast slewing of guide stars is possible to follow the direction of view of the astronomical telescope. The highest wavefront measurement accuracy indicates more than one guide star laser per telescope.

The compliance with the highest requirements on equipment’s weight, footprint, thermal stability, and environmental conditions allows deployment in any kind of high-end astronomical telescopes. Simple installation, operational and maintenance procedures keep operational efforts, outage time, and costs low.
