Abstract

MAORY (Multi Conjugate Adaptive Optics RelaY) is one of the four instruments for the ELT (Extremely Large Telescope) approved for construction. It is an adaptive optics module able to compensate the wavefront disturbances affecting the scientific observations, achieving high strehl ratio and high sky coverage. MAORY will be installed on the straight-through port of the telescope Nasmyth platform and shall re-image the telescope focal plane to MICADO (the first light imager of the ELT) and in a future second instrument port. A general overview of the present status of the mechanical design of the Main structure is given in this paper.
