The Lenghu Node

Lenghu - China

The Chinese node has been re-located from the Delingha Observatory to the newly established Lenghu Observatory in the Qinghai province.  The building, telescope and spectrograph are completed and manual observations are possible.

An analysis of the obtained calibration spectra from the spectrograph indicate that the spectral resolution is as good as for the Tenerife spectrograph.

Weather statistics has shown that the new location is a top quality site (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03711-z)
