In year 2008 European Association for Solar Telescopes (EAST) started to carry out the project of the European Solar Telescope (EST) instrument. The main telescope of EST is expected to have a diameter of 4 m and therefore it will become one of the biggest solar telescopes in the world. The main telescope will be connected to the smaller full-disc solar telescope, the development of which is carried out by our group.
In this contribution we present optical and mechanical demands of the telescope, its optical design and the description of the basic operation regimes. We analyse the possibilities of inclusion of this full-disc telescope in the general EST controlling system. We show that the small telescope can be used for alignment of the main telescope and for the determination of the changing instrumental constants of the instrument during a long-term run.
