The Digitalisation of the Maksutov Camera 350/840 of the Observatory in Úpice
Rail, Zdeněk ; Melich, Zbyněk
The Maksutov chamber with a diameter of 350 mm and a focal length of 840 mm was manufactured in Turnov in the early 1980s. At the Úpice Observatory it was used to photograph the sky for photographic film. Currently, we have been asked to convert it to a digital device. It was necessary to design and manufacture a correction element for the chamber to straighten its focal surface and to equip it with a suitable digital camera. In this work we present description of modification of this device.
