Abstract
AbstractOne of the two main telescopes at Sydney Observatory is a computer-controlled 35.6-cm Celestron. It is used with a television-type system. There is an integrating CCD camera available as well as an ordinary TV camera for bright objects. The images from the cameras can be shown in the Observatory’s lecture room. They are first put through an image processor which allows constant enhancement, spatial filtering and the recording of images for use on cloudy nights. Preliminary results are encouraging, and show the value of the system, even in Sydney’s highly light-polluted sky.
