Description:
A new photoelectric astrometric system, the Multichannel Astrometric Photometer (MAP), was developed, and it was used in a regular observing program designed to detect extrasolar planetary systems. The 76-cm refractor of the Allegheny Observatory was fully renovated to make it suitable as the observing instrument for the MAP. The MAP itself was designed, constructed and tested in actual operation. A data analysis system was developed and tested.
