Topic: The Echidna Instrument that the AAO has developed for the Subaru Telescope
Speaker: Peter Gillingham
Venue: Epping Creative Centre - 26 Stanley Road, Epping
Abstract: "Echidna is a unique instrument for positioning 400 optical fibres within a 15-cm focal plane with an accuracy of a few microns. Each fibre is held by a spine, and each spine can be moved independently. Echidna forms part of a new fibre-fed multi-object spectrograph, FMOS, for the 8-m Subaru telescope."

Peter is an optical engineer and has been involved with much of the instrumentation developed at the AAO.
