Site monitoring at Mount Stromlo To optimally build and operate adaptive optics systems, we need to understand the typical atmospheric conditions on the site where the telescope is built. Therefore, the Advanced Instrumentation and Technology Centre (AITC) is conducting a site characterisation campaign at Mount Stromlo.
