New technologies for the DRAGONFLY instrument

银河系的辽阔距离激发了天文学家长期以来的梦想，即建造具有足够放大倍数的望远镜，以放大恒星的亲密生活。通过一种大胆的新方法，蜻蜓仪器将在现有技术的基础上在性能上迈出一大步，提供无与伦比的高保真和分辨率组合的图像。许多关键问题等待着这种能力上的突破。恒星是如何形成的？他们死后会发生什么？行星系统很常见吗？该仪器被证明的成功将使其处于世界天文成像的前沿，为证明下一代大型望远镜的合理性提供了至关重要的因素。

The vast distances in the galaxy have motivated the long-held dream of astronomers to build telescopes with enough magnification to zoom in on the intimate lives of stars. With a bold new approach, the Dragonfly instrument will make a major step in performance beyond existing technology, delivering images with an unmatched combination of high fidelity and resolution. A number of crucial questions await such a breakthrough in capability. How do stars form? What happens as they die? Are planetary systems common? Demonstrated success with this instrument will place it at the forefront of astronomical imaging worldwide, providing a vital element in the case for justifying the next generation of large telescopes.
