Scientific paper

In 1996 the Two-Channel Focal Reducer of the Max-Planck-Institut f"ur Aeronomie was brought to Terskol Peak for the use at the 2-m Zeiss Ritchey-Chr'etien-Coud'e telescope. Since then it has been the only electronic imaging device available at this telescope. Using the 2-m telescope, the German side, in collaboration with Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian astronomers, has studied gas and dust in comets, conducted polarimetry of cometary dust and asteroids, and astrometry and photometry of the inner Jovian satellites. The morphology and brightness of the plasma torus of the Jovian satellite Io has been investigated in order to derive its physical properties. The focal reducer is briefly described, and the capabilities of the telescope-focal reducer combination are demonstrated with results obtained during the six years of observing.
