DFM Engineering, Inc. and The Chabot Space
and Science Center work together on a 36-inch telescope |
| |
| |
The 36-inch telescope was built by the Chabot staff
with some engineering advice from engineers at DFM Engineering.
The telescope was completed in June of 2003 with the
installation of the telescope control system.
The DFM Engineering and fabrication staff
custom designed and fabricated the control system for
the telescope including the control computer, the control
software, the R.A. and Declination secondary drives,
and the focus drive. |
 |
 |
The hardware and software were shipped
to Chabot and Dr. Frank Melsheimer went out to California
to install the control system.
During the 1970's, Dr. Melsheimer spent
some time working with the personnel at the downtown
Chabot Observatory and Planetarium.
