Observatorio de Sierra Nevada Susana Martín Ruiz (IAA-CSIC)

Located at Loma de Dilar in the Sierra Nevada mountain range (Granada) Altitude: 2900 m above sea level 100% Spanish (IAA- CSIC)

Telescopes  Main building: Nasmyth telescopes T150 (1.5m) and T90 (90cm) T150: a low resolution spectrograph (Albireo) and a CCD camera with a FoV of 8’ x 8’ T90: six channel photoelectric photometer (Strömgren photometer) and a CCD camera with a FoV of 17’x 17’  Other installations (projects): T60: robotic telescope with a IR camera (BOOTES-IR project) T35: 14’’ telescope with a wide field CCD camera (variable stars) SATI: interferometer (dynamic of the high layers of the Earth atmosphere) Spectrometer (study of the sky at infrared and sub-mm wavelengths)

Observing modes For T150 and T90 telescopes - Service - In-situ - Remote Very important: the telescopes can not be operated in service mode at the same time! Why?. The personnel is reduced: 3 night assistants (1 assistant/night)

The OSN is a modest observatory In favour...  Long term observations Photometric multisite campaigns, studies of comets, catalogues of stars, surveys, etc.  Outreach activities (guide visits in summer)  To get started in the use of telescopes But against...  Difficult access during the winter  Lack of technical personnel with plain dedication  The OSN has no assigned budget.

Future?...
