News Note: Breakthrough in mirror control at SALT.
- Abstract
The article focuses on developments in mirror control at the South African Large Telescope (SALT). Topics discussed include the role of a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor in controlling 91 segments of the telescope primary to optimize image capture, a project on creation of new inductive sensors in collaboration with Fogale-Nanotech, and the role of the new sensors in enhancing image capture of SALT along with the Spherical Aberration Corrector.
