Esta toma exterior del telescopio de Gemini Sur muestra el resultado del Sistema Multi-Conjugado de óptica adaptativa de Gemini (GeMS) con el Capturador de Imágenes de Óptica Adaptativa de Gemini Sur (GSAOI). La luz del láser se divide en cinco haces separados que son necesarios para el sistema de óptica adaptativa de Gemini.
This stunning photograph taken, with a fish-eye lens from inside the Gemini South dome, shows the telescope nested in its altazimuth mount, pointing just high enough so that its monstrous 8-meter primary mirror is visible.
This exterior shot of Gemini South shows the result of the Gemini Multi-conjugate adaptive optics System (GeMS) with the Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager (GSAOI) propagating a laser guide star toward the zenith. Gemini South acquired the 50-watt sodium Guide Star Laser System back in March 2010. It moved into regular operations soon thereafter.
