We have designed Aqueye+, an instrument for the Copernicus 182 cm Asiago Telescope, with two channels, one devoted to ultrafast photometry based on four single photon avalanche photodiodes, the second dedicated to stellar coronagraphy based on innovative optical vortex coronagraph system. The OVC requires a very good image quality, therefore an adaptive optic system AO was designed for the instrument. The peculiarity of this AO system is that there is no wavefront sensors, but the feedback for the deformable mirror is instead given by the photometric channel of Aqueye+.

Abstract

We have designed Aqueye+, an instrument for the Copernicus 182 cm Asiago Telescope, with two channels, one devoted to ultrafast photometry based on four single photon avalanche photodiodes, the second dedicated to stellar coronagraphy based on innovative optical vortex coronagraph system. The OVC requires a very good image quality, therefore an adaptive optic system AO was designed for the instrument. The peculiarity of this AO system is that there is no wavefront sensors, but the feedback for the deformable mirror is instead given by the photometric channel of Aqueye+.
