ASTRONOMICAL OBJECT IMAGING DEVICE, ASTRONOMICAL TELESCOPE CONTROLLER, AND ASTRONOMICAL TELESCOPE CONTROL METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an astronomical object imaging device which can introduce astronomical objects and improve tracking accuracy.SOLUTION: An astronomical object imaging device has: a telescope lens-barrel 1; a frame 2 supporting the telescope lens-barrel so that it can rotate around two axes, a first axis 3 and a second axis 4; a first motor 32 generating a driving force that rotates the telescope lens-barrel around the first axis; a second motor 42 generating a driving force that rotates the telescope lens-barrel around the second axis; a first driving force transmission mechanism which transmits the driving force generated by the first motor to the first axis; a second driving force transmission mechanism which transmits the driving force generated by the second motor to the second axis; a beam splitter which splits light made incident by an objective lens provided for the telescope lens-barrel into first light and second light different in wavelength; imaging means which exposes the first light for a prescribed time and images it; an image sensor 11 which receives the second light and converts it into astronomical information; and a control part 5 which controls at least either the first motor or the second motor on the basis of the converted astronomical information.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
