Scientific paper

Sites in southern Europe were evaluated in terms of their suitability for the stationing of a vacuum solar telescope. La Palma and Tenerife in the Canary Islands were eventually selected because of their low daily and seasonal temperature variations, and the high level of atmospheric stability encountered in that region. A 60 cm telescope, already under construction in Germany, and designed with the cooperation of the 12-nation Joint Organization for Solar Observation (JOSO), is described. The important data for the telescope are: coelostat with a 2 x 80 cm plane mirror, 70 cm spherical mirror, spectrograph with a 15 m focal length, and Echelle-screen with a surface of 420 x 220 mm and 79 lines/mm. The telescope will be situated in a 30 meter tower.
