Abstract

The construction of the “Novel System of Integrated Refractive Optics” (SNORRI) is described. This is a four aligned super telephoto array system coupled with four last generation CCD cameras integrated in a network. Commercial software are used to drive the equipment that is integrated in a custom made interface control center.

This astronomical equipment was built in Churuquita Chiquita in Penonomé District of Coclé Province in the Republic of Panama. Its primary goal is the detection of low surface brightness structures or faint objects in the sky with a wide field of view. The good quality of the system and some preliminary results are discussed.
