M.A.M.A. Project: A New Measuring Machine in Paris
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Summary
A new photographic measuring machine is under construction at Paris Observatory. The amount of transmitted light is measured by a linear array of 1024 photodiodes. Carriage control, data acquisition and on line processing are performed by microprocessors,a S.E.L. 32/27 computer, and an AP 120-B Array Processor. It is expected that a Schmidt telescope plate of size 360 mm square will be scanned in about one hour with pixel size of ten microns.
