A portable telescope, photometer, and data-recording system
Abstract
A description is presented of a portable telescope, two-channel photometer and high-speed data-recording system that meet the unique requirements of occultation astronomy. The instrumentation has been designed for portability, high time resolution, accurate absolute timing, and ease of use. The instrumentation includes a light-weight 35.5-cm (14-inch) objective portable telescope, a two-channel high-speed photometer and a data-recording system built into a suitcase. The equipment has been successfully used in field operations and at fixed observatories in India, Australia, and Hawaii.
