Our project idea was requested by the astrophotonics research group in CREOL. The project entails the design of what will be an observatory platform to observe the sun. This design is fully autonomous and includes a system which tracks the sun to aim the telescopes in the correct direction, a camera to image the sun, and a weather-tracking system capable of detecting incoming rain and covering the optical system. The light coming through the miniature telescopes will be fed through a fiber and led through an optical system for analyzing the light designed by the optics students in the group.
