The #video lasts 1 minute but it corresponds to 10 hours.
The big dish is a decommissioned radio #telescope. In the background there is the 3.6-m telescope with its #exoplanet-hunting instrument #HARPS

#India successfully launched its first #space mission to study the #sun on Sat, ~1 week after becoming the 1st country to land an unmanned robotic #spacecraft near the moon’s south pole.
The #AdityaL1’s mission is to observe the outer atmosphere of the sun.
“The vehicle has placed the #satellite precisely into its intended #orbit. India’s first #solar #observatory has begun its journey to the destination of Sun-Earth L1 point,” the #ISRO said.

Right: Test picture from the #ESA #Euclid mission and its made-in-Marseille instrument NISP in july 2023
Both instruments share the same goal: to massively measure radial velocities (or redshift) of stars / galaxies.

Finally, a night in my observatory in Central Texas under clear skies! After a new polar alignment, I quickly captured some data on the M27 nebula before the Moon rose.
