Description
Summary:SONG (Stellar Observations Network Group) is a global network of 1-m class robotic telescopes that is under development. The SONG prototype will shortly be operational at Observatorio del Teide, Tenerife, and first light is expected by December 2011. The main scientific goals of the SONG project are asteroseismology of bright stars and follow-up and characterization of exo-planets by means of precise measurements of stellar surface motions and brightness variations. We present the Tenerife SONG node and its instruments.
