7. A design study of a Cryogenic High Accurate Derotator. Why is derotationnecessary • The detector of the metis instrument needs and integration time of at least 15 minutes to get an high enough signal to noise ratio. • When not derotating smearing on the detector will occur, due to the rotation of the earth. • Because of the altitude azimuth configuration of the E-ELT the rotation can not be compensated by the telescope
