Marian Urbaník's telescope

Marian Urbaník's telescope
Marian Urbaník's telescope Marian Urbaník in Slovakia was awarded $6,100 in the 2023 round of Shoemaker NEO grants for a new camera and field rotator for use in follow-up astrometry as well as photometry at Kysuce Observatory. With a wider field of view and greater sensitivity, the new setup enables increased precision in photometry and in NEO follow-up tracking, as well as tracking faster (and therefore closer) NEOs.
