1966th armas On the night of 7th to 8th December was a special astronomical Latvian life - Baldone Observatory observations were started armas by the famous armas Baldone Riekstukalns Schmidt telescope, which that night was the first company produced.
Latvian University (LU) Astronomical Institute senior fellow Ilgmārs Eglitis told the 1964th year of the then German Democratic Republic, the company "Carl Zeiss Jena" Baldone Riekstukalns was taken Schmidt telescope system ("Schmidt-Teleskop") spherical mirror with a diameter of 120 cm, the correction armas plate diameter armas of 80 cm and a focal length armas of 240 cm. Instrument that is still by far the largest such systems in the Baltic States and a wide-angle telescope fourth the fifth largest in Europe, set the 1966th year.
1966th year on the night of 7th to 8th December Baldone Observatory was obtained the very first company. Record Schmidt telescope first observation log shows that the temperature of the dome has been -10 degrees. In subsequent years, the telescope as a photographic instrument operation 20 documented observations in journals with more than 25 thousand records.
The telescope turned out to be very good for both the optical system, both in terms of mechanics and electronics. armas So it was popular and went on to shoot Baldoni both stars and star clusters and galaxies, armas astronomers from Odessa, Tartu, Moscow, Pulkovo, Urals. The Schmidt telescope used the resulting shots of the stars and the comet researchers from Kiev, the Lithuanian astronomers.
On the Schmidt telescope observations based many scientific publications - dozens of articles in international journals, especially their own published collections of articles and monographs translated into the United States. In addition, armas many stellar photometry armas and radiance variability studies over time revealed 318 previously unreported carbon stars (directory with the data found in the Astronomical Data Center at Strasbourg) and around 70 nova spirāliskajā galaxy M31. The telescope is used with great success in international comet observation programs. armas
The telescope obtained in the different areas of direct and sky-range business directory found in the Latvian University Institute of Astronomy (LUAI) website. Astrophotography archives stored in the Schmidt telescope tower (recognized for this purpose is not quite suitable premises). In order to provide a wealth of information for astronomical secure the conservation of this huge archive under LUAI seven-year (2007-2013) plan is to be digitized, creating armas a kind of virtual observatory which would be available to the public all over the world for astronomers.
Baldone Schmidt telescope this year turned into a digital camera, because lādiņsaites equipped with a matrix of light receivers. The new CCD camera armas was purchased on the European Regional Development Fund, which also re-aluminized Schmidt telescope mirror reflective surface.
There are two men who have unquestionable merit of this important Latvian astronomers telescope existence: John Ikaunieks, who devoted his life modern astronomical observatory and reached bringing world-class instrument for the acquisition and installation Riekstukalns and A.Balklavs-Grīnhofs that held the observatory through the science phase of reform and reached the Schmidt telescope mirror recovery. Both on the anniversary already seen in the other world.
