Planetary Group Seminar: Planetary Science with the large Binocular Telescope (Al Conrad)
- Date: Sep 23, 2019
- Time: 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
- Speaker: Al Conrad
- LBT Telescope
- Location: MPS

We will review capabilities available at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) for conducting programs in Solar System Science. Along with support for non-sidereal tracking, guiding, and wave front sensing, LBT provides a large collecting area (11.8 meter equivalent diameter) and the potential for high angular resolution (a 23-meter baseline). We will present results from observations that take advantage of these unique capabilities.
