Instruments and Projects
GSpec
GSpec is a technology demonstration of the dual-aperture fiber nuller.
DESI Sky Continuum Montitor
The DESI Sky Continuum Monitor System tracks the night sky brightness to dynamically adjust exposure times to maximize DESI observing efficiency.
DEdicated MONitor of EXotransits and Transients (DEMONEXT)
DEMONEXT was a 20-inch (0.5-m) robotic telescope designed for photometric monitoring of exoplanets and transient sources.
The DEdicated MONitor of EXotransits (DEMONEX)
DEMONEX was a 20-inch robotic telescope for dedicated exoplanet transit monitoring.
Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT)
KELT, OSU's first fully-robotic telescope, eventually discovered 26 transiting exoplanets around bright stars.
Buckeye 12-position Filter Wheels
The ISL built three copies of our 12-position "Buckeye" automated filter wheel for use at CTIO and MDM between 2003 and 2008.
RETROCAM
RETROCAM was an auxiliary CCD camera that could be rapidly inserted into the optical beam of the MDM 2.4 m telescope to enable concurrent synoptic observing.
