ASTRONOMICAL INSTRUMENTATION
AND RADIO ASTRONOMY

Instruments at the PARI Observatories

Telescopes I’ve Worked With

Optical Spectrograph

The Old Two-Channel Photometer

The instruments at PARI include radiometers, CCD Cameras, atmospheric seeing and tansparency sensors, radio telescopes and optical telescopes.  Take a look at some of the telescopes I’ve used, from the WIRO 2.3 m infrared telescope to the PARI 26 m radio telescope. The optical spectrograph is used for my Mira Variable Star research.  The old two channel photometer deserves honorable mention for being one the last few in use before CCDs became the photometers of choice. Enjoy the visit to each of these.
