University of New Mexico research faculty members and a student install a fully automated 'RoboDome' telescope that measures the sharpness of star images. The telescope measures the twinkling of starlight, or astronomical "seeing." Astronomers seek sharp, stable stellar images with minimal twinkling, which is created by atmospheric turbulence.
