Description

We present an overview of the astronomical instrument development at the Observatoire du Mont-Megantic, with an emphasis on three innovative instruments respectively designed to spectroscopically map extended nebulae and galaxies, to measure the polarization of starlight with very high precision and to detect Moons orbiting exoplanets.
