. Next: Comment column Up: Optional stellar data Previous: Spectral types . Because approximate magnitudes are more useful when qualified by a terse description of their nature, the column labelled MAG should contain a character string rather than a number. For example, you might specify 'mpg=10.5 (HD)' , or 'V=12.15' . Up to 16 characters can be carried in this field. Pascal Ballester . Tue Mar 28 16:52:29 MET DST 1995

About us . ... Telescopes . ... Apart from the 6-meter telescope BTA two small telescopes are operative at SAO: the 1-m and 0.6-m telescopes, both manufactured by Carl Zeiss, Jena, are located near the BTA. ... These telescopes are used for adjusting the equipment and techniques of observations used at the BTA. ... The observational time allocation and also a brief description of the equipment of the 1-m telescope, which is used either permanently or mainly on this telescope, are presented below. ...
