Hallo,

die ESO hat eine neue 268MP Camera an einem 2,6m Teleskop installiert:

First Images from the VLT Survey Telescope - VST and 268 megapixel OmegaCAM start work

The VLT Survey Telescope (VST), the latest addition to ESO’s Paranal Observatory, has made its first release of impressive images of the southern sky. The VST is a state-of-the-art 2.6-metre telescope, with the huge 268-megapixel camera OmegaCAM at its heart, which is designed to map the sky both quickly and with very fine image quality. It is a visible-light telescope that perfectly complements ESO’s VISTA infrared survey telescope. New images of the Omega Nebula and the globular cluster Omega Centauri demonstrate the VST’s power.

Die ersten Bilder sind beeindruckend. Das hier gezeigte dürfte die detaillierteste Aufnahme von Omega Centauri sein. Es lohnt sich das riesige Bild mal in voller Auflösung herunterzuladen:
