Telescopes
The main and central part of development, design and manufacturing
of our company focuses on modern altazimuth (alt-az) mounted telescope systems.
New drive technologies (direct drives) and hydrostatic bearing systems, together
with high precision encoder units, allow very high slewing speeds as well as
precise positioning and tracking. Even the most
ambitious science projects of modern astronomy (GRBs, robotic observations, interferometry, high resolution spectroscopy, simultaneous observations, targets of opportunity, etc.)
can be approached
with these telescope systems.
From the beginning, we tried to make these modern technologies
to a standard in Halfmann telescopes. Therefore, we are now able
to present a line of alt-az mounted telescopes with following apertures
and nearly identical specifications:
- 0.5 m
- 0.6 m
- 0.8 m
-
1.2 m
- 2.0 m (in progress)
Beside these standard systems, we can supply special designs
of astronomical instrumentation and engineering with arbitrary apertures up to
2 m.
In addition to modern and fast direct drives we can provide classical frictional drives for less ambitious projects.
Telescope control software (TCS), astronomical, and robotic software we develop in cooperation with
4pi Systeme and
Tuparev Technologies.
Concerning the optics we collaborate with
Astro Optik,
LOMO and
LZOS Lytkarino.
