Description
We are carrying on several surveys in nearby galaxies aiming to find, catalogue and study old and young emission-line objects as H II regions, Planetary Nebulae, Symbiotic stars, SNRs to unprecedent levels. In particular, we are interested in extragalactic PNe and Symbiotic stars with subsequent spectroscopic study of each individual candidate. In this paper, we will show our recent studies on PNe belonging to three nearby galaxies: the spiral galaxies M 33 and M 81 and the dwarf irregular galaxy Sextans B. Based on observations obtained at the 4.2-m WHT and 2.6-m INT telescopes operated on the island of La Palma by the Isaac Newton Group in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias

    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
