The Double Astrograph telescope (two 0.5 m lenses) in the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional of Venezuela (OAN) will soon be available for observations to the astronomical comunity. Despite of being placed at the OAN since thirty years ago, together with the three other telescopes installed there, it was not fully assembled. Recent engineering work on it, has got to mecanically balance the telescope and set control of the electric motors for the motion of this instrument. The current positioning and guided motions of the telescope allow for an observational quantification of the different aberrations of the optical system of the instrument. With this in mind, selected fields of stars have been observed with a CCD camera, that was installed at different locations on the focal plane. Here we show a summary of the technical operations and the first observational results, aimed at evaluating the potential of the Double Astrograph for future scientific investigations.
