Abstract

The servo model, design methodology, and performance prediction of the W. M. Keck Telescope is discussed. The tracking/slewing requirements are stringent compared with other telescopes in order to take full advantage of the improved technology in mirror fabri-cation. The combination of stringent requirements and large size makes the Keck Telescope servo design interesting to other servo designers.
