Abstract

The DAG (Dogu Anadolu Gözlemevi) Eastern Anatolia Observatory is an astronomical project fully funded by Turkish Ministry of Development and the Atatürk University of Astrophysics Research Telescope (ATASAM). DAG Observatory is provided with a 4m-class optical and infrared telescope, equipped with secondary (0.76m) and tertiary mirrors which furnish the telescope with two Nasmyth foci. Since 2015, the project has seen the crucial contribution of EIE GROUP in the Design, Production and on-site Installation of the mount structure of the 4m class optical/nearinfrared telescope (DAG Telescope) in contract with AMOS company. EIE GROUP is also the main contractor of the 18.6m-diameter Rotating Building (DAG Dome) at an altitude of 3170m asl on the Erzurum Plateau, Turkey. After completing a full assembly and testing in the factory, the telescope was subsequently disassembled and transported to the final installation site. Now, on-site assembly activities have been completed, and all internal acceptance tests regarding the mount structure have been conducted. This document focuses on the on-site assembly activities of the EIE Group, as well as the related internal pre-commissioning, commissioning, and functional and acceptance tests.
