The selected site for the 4 m DAG (Eastern Anatolian Observatory in Turkish) telescope is at "Karakaya Ridge", at 3170 m altitude (3150 m after summit management). The telescope's optical design is performed by the DAG technical team to allow infrared observation at high angular resolution, with its adaptive optics system to be built in Turkey. In this paper; a brief introduction about DAG telescope design; planned instrumentation; the meteorological data collected from 2008, clear night counts, short-term DIMM observations; current infrastructure to hold auxiliary telescopes; auxiliary buildings to assist operations; the observatory design; and coating unit plans will be presented along with possible collaboration possibilities in terms of instrumentation and science programs.

DAG: A New Observatory And A Prospective Observing Site For Other Potential Telescopes
YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; KESKİN, ONUR; Gucsav, B. Bulent (2016-07-01)
DAG (Eastern Anatolia Observatory is read as "Dogu Anadolu Gozlemevi" in Turkish) is the newest and largest observatory of Turkey, constructed at an altitude of 3170 m in Konakli/Erzurum province, with an optical and near-infrared telescope (4 m in diameter) and its robust observing site infrastructure. This national project consists of three main phases: DAG (Telescope, Enclosure, Buildings and Infrastructures), FPI (Focal Plane Instruments and Adaptive Optics) and MCP (Mirror Coating Plant). All these thr...
EASTERN ANATOLIA OBSERVATORY (DAG): RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVING SITE FOR ROBOTIC TELESCOPES
YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; KESKİN, ONUR (2015-10-02)
This document (Eastern Anatolia Observatory (DAG) is the new observatory of Turkey with the optical and near-infrared largest telescope (4 m class) and its robust observing site infrastructure. This national project consists of three phases with DAG (Telescope, Enclosure, Buildings and Infrastructures), FPI (Focal Plane Instruments and Adaptive Optics) and MCP (Mirror Coating Plant) and is supported by the Ministry of Development of Turkey. The tenders of telescope and enclosure have been made and almost al...
Agile development approach for the observatory control software of the DAG 4m telescope
Gucsavd, B. Bulent; Coker, Deniz; YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit; KESKİN, ONUR; Zago, Lorenzo; Yerli, Sinan Kaan (2016-06-30)
Observatory Control Software for the upcoming 4m infrared telescope of DAG (Eastern Anatolian Observatory in Turkish) is in the beginning of its lifecycle. After the process of elicitation-validation of the initial requirements, we have been focused on preparation of a rapid conceptual design not only to see the big picture of the system but also to clarify the further development methodology. The existing preliminary designs for both software (including TCS and active optics control system) and hardware sh...
DAG Telescope: A New Potential for MOS Observations
ALİŞ, Sinan; YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan (2015-03-06)
East Anatolian Observatory (aka. DAG) is a national project supported by the Turkish Government for building a 4m class telescope which will be working in the optical and near-IR domain. As the tender process has been completed and kick-off to the telescope and the mirror production has been initiated, the project team is looking for possible collaborations for the focal plane instrumentation. This contribution is intended to describe the DAG project and to show its opportunities for a state-of-the-art MOS ...
Observatory building design: a case study of DAG with infrastructure and facilities
Sahmali, Ali Erkan; YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; KESKİN, ONUR (2016-06-28)
DAG (Eastern Anatolian Observatory in Turkish), will be built in one of the well-known mountain ridges of Erzurum, Turkey, at latitude of 39 degrees 46'50, longitude of 41 degrees 13'35 and an altitude of 3170 meters. As well as erecting the largest telescope of Turkey, the DAG project aims to establish an observatory complex both small in size and functional enough to give service to all astronomy community. In this paper, the challenge is explained in details: geological and geographical limitations, envi...
