Cassegrain Telescope 500/7500 mm (1964)

CCD Camera type SBIG STL11000M, (KAI-11000M, 36.1 x 24.7 mm, 11 million pixels, 4008 x 2745, 9 x 9 ), with UBVRI filter system (Johnson photometric system)

Prin-Merz double Astrograph 380/6000 mm

Photographic plates of 24 x 24 cm are used; the instrument has a field of 2 x 2 deg. The plates are measured on an Ascorecord machine (0.1). A HiSis 22 CCD camera was also attached in 1995 to this instrument.

Great Meridian Circle (190/2350 mm)

The instrument has two declination circles each of 1 m diameter, divided at every 5'. The telescope is endowed with an impersonal micrometer. The collimation of the optical axis is measured by means of two meridian marks located at about 80-100 m from the instrument.
