The DAG (Dogu Anadolu Gözlemevi) observatory is the largest observatory in Turkey and is composed by the 4m-class infrared Telescope, the Rotating Enclosure, the dome fixed structure and the auxiliary building. It is mounted on the top of Karakaya Mountain at 3170m altitude, close to Erzurum, in Turkey. This presentation refers to the DAG Rotating Enclosure. The Rotating Enclosure is octagonal sized steel structure with eight trolleys acting on a rai of 18.6 meters diameter. The structure is and 14.5m high over a pillar 9.0m. It is equipped with an observing slit door composed by two L-Shaped elements. Six sliding ventilation doors, about 3.7x6.5m each, that can be opened independently and with different degrees of aperture allow for optimizing the internal airflow. Immediately Inside the observing slit doors, there is a windscreen consisting of 3 panels that, in case of wind, are raised in accordance with the telescope elevation to protect it. The panels have a specific degree of air permeability to still allow ventilation for the telescope. A 6.5tons overall bridge crane allows to move pieces in every zone of the rotating enclosure for the maintenance of the telescope optics. At the beginning of November 2023, EIE carried out all acceptance tests with the end customer and delivered the rotating enclosure to ATASAM. This paper provides the results of the final erection and reports the procedures and results of the Acceptance Tests performed by EIE for the DAG Rotating Enclosure activities. 4m class telescopes and related Domes represent nowadays a consolidated part of EIE core-business, a low costs standard product able to satisfy the most critical observational requirements of astronomers.
DAG telescope first light commissioning status
(SPIE, 2024) Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Keskin, Onur; Güçsav, Bülent; Öztürk Cetni, Derya; Kuruçolak, Mehmet
DAG, the 4-meter VIS/NIR telescope and the observatory, reached foreseen first light status at last: the enclosure acceptance is completed; to finalize the opto-mechanical alignment and pointing/tracking, the telescope mirrors have been exposed to heavens in absence of instrumentation. On the optical train; the two instruments that make the telescope distinctive, namely KORAY (the optical derotator) and flexible concept TROIA (ExAO) systems are characterized at the laboratory, and are anxiously waiting to be installed at their blessed location of mission - the diffraction limited Nasmyth platform along with the PLACID stellar coronagraph and DIRAC (NIR camera). We felt that PLACID, which is not yet lead star got jealous; so with the funding provided by the RACE-GO (ERC Project), within just after 60 days of its first mission, it will undergo for a technical makeover to a K-Band instrument. We now have a dilemma, the vacant seeing Nasmyth platform - the landlord- is still waiting for a cutting-edge tenant. Thus, the paper not only presents the telescope and its instrumentation, but also reserves a dedicated section for possible co-operations/collaborations to take place on the seeing Nasmyth platform.
