| Abstract: |
LMU München operates an astrophysical observatory on Mt.
Wendelstein which has been equipped with a modern 2m-class telescope
recently. The new Fraunhofer telescope is starting science operations
now with a 64 Mpixel, 0.5°×0.5° FoV wide field
camera and will successively be equipped with a three channel
optical/NIR camera and two fibre coupled spectrographs (IFU spectrograph
VIRUSW already in operation at the 2.7m McDonald, Texas and an upgraded
Echelle spectrograph FOCES formerly operated at Calar Alto
oberservatory, Spain). All instruments will be mounted simultaneously
and can be activated within a minute. The observatory also operates a
small 40cm telescope with a CCD-camera and a simple fibre coupled
spectrograph for students lab and photometric monitoring as well as a
large number of support equipment like a meteo station, allsky cameras,
a multitude of webcams, in addition to a complex building control system
environment. Here we describe the ongoing effort to build a centralised
controlling interface for all. This includes remote/robotic
operation, visualisation via browser technologies, and data processing
and archiving. |
