Abstract

The DREAMS telescope is currently under construction at the Siding Spring Observatory. Once completed, the 0.5m telescope will be the fastest infrared surveyor in the southern hemisphere and one of the best tool available for transient astronomy. The Opto-mechnical design is fully custom and consists of two distinct sections: The telescope tube assembly and the instrument optical relay that feeds the light into six InGaAs cameras. We present here, the details of the mechanical design of the telescope.
