Hyderabad: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Hyderabad launched its first astronomy observatorial with a large telescope for public outreach on Sunday as part of her independence day celebration.
The 14-inch telescope with a 355 mm optical mirror and a focal length of 1,650 mm will not only allow amateur astronomical observations including inner celestial objects, planetary systems, stars, and nebulates but will also provide quality researchers with potential discoveries.
This is the second largest telescope in the IIT dedicated to oute-kanpur.

Small crates on the surface of the moon, Saturn Rings are some small features that can be solved with a telescope.

Although the telescope will primarily aim for observational training programs outreach and night sky, it has the ability to provide research level performance to be explored subsequently by the Institute.
“With this big telescope, we will provide opportunities for young students to study selestial objects in more detail than other small telescopes that are conventionally used for outreach programs.
Activities such as Stargazing Training Program, observing transient astronomy, working with images The sky image will increase their knowledge and add human sex with space, “said Prof.
BS Murty, Director of Iit-Hyderabad who funded the project.
Because of superior quality images, data from the observatory can serve national and international astronomical researchers with supportive data.
Such collaboration will provide a rare opportunity for facilities to become part of the International Observatory community so that the IIT-Hyderabad will be part of the main astronomical discovery and become the center of astronomy in India.
“Unlike other observatories designed for outreach programs, our facilities will provide an opportunity to work with high-quality astronomical images of inner celestial bodies and temporary events so that school / college students may have the opportunity to contribute to astronomical research,” said Mayukh Pahari assistant professor in the Department of Physics, who will manage facilities.
