Description
We present B,V photometric data of the Carina dwarf Spheroidal (dSph) galaxy, collected with the Mosaic Camera (36×36 arcmin2) available at the 4m CTIO Blanco telescope. We discuss different reduction strategies and in particular the PSF extraction and internal accuracy reached by our measurements. We discuss a new deep Color-Magnitude Diagram (CMD) of the Carina galaxy. Finally, we show the samples of RR Lyrae, Anomalous Cepheids, and delta Scuti candidates we have detected.

    Local seeing analysis for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be built at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, a site known for its excellent atmospheric seeing conditions. The fundamental design of EST lies on two premises to improve the local seeing: placing the primary mirror as far as possible from the ground layer and using an open-air configuration. In

    First on-sky tests of LQG control for a 10m-class telescope: prelude on the Gran Telescopio Canarias adaptive optics system
    The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) is being equipped with an Adaptive Optics (AO) system, developed by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). The Institut d'Optique Graduate School-Laboratoire Charles Fabry (IOGS-LCF), through a collaboration with the IAC, integrated some high performance control solutions. In this proceeding, we present
