Abstract

We are developing Adaptive Optics (AO) system for 1m telescope at Gwacheon National Science Museum Observatory. The beam spot of the Gwacheon 1m telescope. The tip-tilt correction system consists of a CMOS sensor, a tip-tilt mirror and a feed back loop. The beam spot location at the CMOS sensor indicates the tip-tilt components of the incoming light. The tip-tilt mirror is controlled by DAC output voltage calculated by proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. This system successfully corrects the tip-tilt motion of the spot.
