Télescope de 1m93 : Cassegrain focus


This image shows the SOPHIE adapter (white cylinder) mounted at the Cassegrain focus. This adapter contains the calibration lamps, the autoguider and the fiber heads which transport starlight from the focal plane to the spectrograph, which is located in a temperature-controlled room one floor below. The sheaths containing the fibers are seen at the bottom, curving to the left.
