Mercator :The Mercator telescope is a modern semi-robotic telescope, installed at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain) at an altitude of 2333 m above sea level. Mercator/MAIA :MAIA, the Mercator Advanced Imager for Asteroseismology is a new fast 3-channel photometric instrument. |
