Description
In ATel #1599; Krimm et al. report a gradual brightening and softening of SWIFT J1753.5-0127's X-ray emission, using the SWIFT satellite on June 30, 2008. We performed contemporaneous BVRI imaging of the system with the IAC80 telescope at the Observatorio del Teide, Tenerife around T2300, 29 June and 02 July, 2008. We find average magnitudes: B=17.07, V=16.64, R=16.41 and I=15.97.

    Innovative solution for upgrading commercial bearings for use in cryogenic instruments
    Infrared instruments for astronomy require many bearings for motion that must move in cryogenic conditions. There are poor and expensive options for this, and the companies with qualified bearings only supply after a long time. To attend these constrains, the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) started to develop a procedure to upgrade

    The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
    The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is a project dedicated to identifying optical counterparts to gravitational-wave detections using a network of dedicated, wide-field telescopes. After almost a decade of design, construction, and commissioning work, the GOTO network is now fully operational with two antipodal sites: La Palma

    Latest optical and mechanical upgrades in the GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph for simultaneous spectral observations
    The GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) can perform spectropolarimetric observations in the infrared. The spectrograph has a Czerny-Turner design and offered traditional long-slit observations since 2014. Later on, in 2018, it was upgraded with an Integral Field Unit (IFU) based on a slicer mirror, which has slicers of 100-μm width. The latter
