  1. coude telescope

    The Coudé Auxiliary Telescope (CAT) is a coudé focus telescope located at the Lick Observatory near San Jose, California, south of Shane Dome, Tycho Brahe Peak. The Coudé Auxiliary Telescope, built in 1969, is a 0.6m (24-inch) reflecting telescope in a stationary position at a fixed focus. The CAT is generally used for observation of brighter stars, since it collects less light than the 120-inch Shane.

  1. coude telescope

    A coude telescope is a type of telescope design in which the light path is bent multiple times, often by mirrors, and the image is formed at a location separate from the telescope tube. This allows for large and heavy observational instruments to be mounted at the end of the telescope without disturbing the balance or alignment of the telescope. The name "coude" comes from the French word for "elbow", in reference to the bent light path.
