Wide FastCam, an optical camera for obtaining extremely high temporal resolution images in a wide field of view, is ready to be installed at the Telescopio Carlos Sánchez, in the Teide Observatory. After the IDOM company finished the manufacture of the instrument’s optomechanics, Wide FastCam arrived at IAC, where it has been fully tested during the last weeks. The instrument is expected to be used in more than twenty different fields of astrophysics, from exoplanet transits to black holes.
