Telescope Drive System

Pictured is a 2.5 meter telescope located at the Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico. The telescope is used for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, an ambitious project that will map one-quarter of the entire sky in detail, determining the positions and absolute brightnesses of more than 100 million celestial objects. Working for the University of Washington, Integrated Design Services provided drafting support for the telescope's rotational drive system. Click here to visit the Sloan Digital Sky Survey web site.
