File Nasmyth Telescope.svg thumb Simple Nasmyth telescope File Walter hohmann sternwarte nasmyth cassegrain 2009.jpg thumb 160px 56cm Nasmyth Cassegrain Telescope at the Walter Hohmann Observatory in Essen, Germany The Nasmyth telescope , also called Nasmyth Cassegrain , is a reflecting telescope developed by James Nasmyth . It is a modified form of a Cassegrain telescope Cassegrain telescope, mounted on an Altazimuth mount alt azimuth mount. Scheme As in the Cassegrain telescope, the light falls on a concave primary mirror, then goes into a convex secondary mirror. However there is no hole in the primary mirror. Instead a small flat mirror reflects the light to one of the sides of the telescope. This flat mirror is placed on the altitude axis, so that the exit beam comes out of a hole in the middle of the altitude bearing. This means the eyepiece or instrument does not need to move up and down with the telescope therefore a heavy instrument can be used without upsetting the balance of the telescope or increasing the load on the altitude bearings. This has significant advantages for spectrographs and other heavy instruments typically used at research observatories. Most modern research telescopes can be configured into a Nasmyth telescope i.e. to use the Nasmyth Focus . Observatories The Sierra Nevada Observatory OSN in Spain has 2 Nasmyth telescopes, including a 1.5 meter diameter aperture one.

It is named after Gerard Mercator , famous cartographer. The telescope contains two different measuring devices. First of all, there is the MeropeII CCD camera . This camera has a size of 2k by 6k pixel s Frame Transfer detector originally designed for ESA s canceled Eddington space mission. The filters used together with this camera are according to the so called geneva photometric system . The second instrument on the Mercator Telescope is the HERMES echelle spectrograph .

The P7 photometer was active from May 2001 until July 2008. The photometer measured in the 7 band Geneva photometric system.
