  3. Rotator, Stand and the DES Simulator Rotator of the Simulator Stand Stand of the Simulator Telescope Simulator • Main function of the Stand Rotator: • Supports the Telescope and connects to the Simulator Stand Base. • Allow two axes rotational movement of the DECam Telescope: • 1. The Inner Race of the Rotator rotates +/_ 165 deg. about the • optical axis (about the zz axis of the above layout picture). • 2. The rotator rotates about the zenith angle 0 to 90 deg. and • 90 to 0 deg. (about the xx axis of the above layout picture). Telescope
