This dual-channel telescope integrates independent VIS and UV optical assemblies into a single mechanical structure for precise stellar monitoring. By utilizing dedicated siderostat mechanisms at each entrance, the system maintains consistent sky coverage while ensuring mechanical and thermal stability. This compact payload provides high-resolution, multi-spectral data necessary for the long-term observation of millions of stars.
