Palomar 60-inch Telescope
(P60, Palomar 1.5 m Telescope)
(60 inch telescope at Palomar Observatory)
The Palomar 60-inch Telescope is a 60-inch (1.5 m)
reflector telescope at Palomar Observatory
in southern California. It was added to the observatory
to help meet the demand for telescope time, beginning
operation in 1970. It is currently automated, hosting the SEDM
(for Spectral Energy Distribution Machine) spectrograph,
automatically following up on transients discovered by the
Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF).
