Academician Omarov Assy-Turgen Observatory

The observatory is located on the Assy-Turgen plateau, 2750 meters above sea level, 85 km East from Almaty. Observations began to be performed since 1981. In 2017 the largest telescope in Kazakhstan – AZT-20 began regular observations. Assy Turgen is the only observatory in Kazakhstan with ideal astroclimate: high transparency of the atmosphere, no light pollution and very small (average) turbulence.

Close All AZT-20 Zeiss-1000 RC-500 WFOS-40
Telescope AZT-20
Primary (parabolic) mirror: D = 1560 mm
Modified focal length of the telescope: F = 5720 mm
Allowed diapason of wavelength: λ = 300 – 2500 nm.
AZT-20 is provided with a slit spectrograph with volume-phase holographic gratings (360, 1800 and 2400 lines/mm) and EMCCD-camera Andor. For photometrical tasks, provided by Sloan filters (g’r’i’z’) and back-illuminated CMOS-camera Kepler KL400 (field of view – 15 х 15 arc minutes).
Telescope Zeiss-1000
Primary (hyperbolic) mirror : D = 1016 mm
Focal length of the telescope: F = 13300 mm
Allowed diapason of wavelength: λ = 300 – 2500 nm.
Zeiss-1000 is a telescope with Ritchey–Chrétien optical system. We also have two telescopes Zeiss-1000 at the Tien Shan Observatory. First one has modified focal length 6665 mm, the telescope is provided with FLI Pro Line KAF-9000 front-illuminated CCD camera and BVR optical filters. Second one has modified focal length 7700 mm, the telescope is provided with slit and echelle spectrographs
Telescope RC-500
Primary (hyperbolic) mirror: D = 508 mm
Modified focal length of the telescope: F = 1400 mm
Allowed diapason of wavelength: λ = 300 – 2500 nm.
RC-500 is provided with a CMOS front-illuminated camera QHY-600 and high-speed direct-drive mount Planetwave L-series.
WFOS-40
Primary spherical mirror: D = 400 mm
Focal length of the telescope: F = 550 mm
Allowed diapason of wavelength: λ = 300 – 2500 nm.
WFOS-40 is a wide field optical telescope with 3.8 × 2.5 deg field of view. The telescope is provided with a CMOS front-illuminated camera QHY-600 and high-speed direct-drive mount Planetwave L-series.
