The '''National Large Solar Telescope''' (NLST) is a [[Gregorian Telescope|Gregorian]] multi-purpose open telescope<ref name="harvard">Hasan, S. S. The Indian National Large Solar Telescope [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2010IAUS..264..499H Solar and Stellar Variability: Impact on Earth and Planets, Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, IAU Symposium, Volume 264, p. 499-504]</ref> proposed to be built in Merak village in Ladakh in India and aims to study the sun's microscopic structure.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/India_To_Build_World_Largest_Solar_Telescope_999.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100905195255/http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/India_To_Build_World_Largest_Solar_Telescope_999.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2010-09-05 |title=India To Build World's Largest Solar Telescope |publisher=Spacedaily.com |accessdate=2010-12-23 }}</ref>

The [[Indian Institute of Astrophysics]] is the nodal agency charged with various scientific bodies like the [[Indian Space Research Organisation]] (ISRO), Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational-Sciences, [[Tata Institute of Fundamental Research]] (TIFR) and [[Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics]] (IUCAA) also participating.<ref name="deccan">{{cite web|author=IANS |url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/national/india-build-worlds-largest-solar-telescope-999 |title=India to build world's largest solar telescope | Deccan Chronicle | 2010-09-02 |publisher=Deccan Chronicle |date=2010-09-02 |accessdate=2010-12-23}}</ref>

==Location==
The proposed site for the location of the telescope is Merak Village in [[Ladakh]], [[India]]. The village is near [[Pangong Tso|Pangong Lake]].<ref name="deccan" />

==Telescope==
NLST is proposed to be on-axis [[Altazimuth mount|alt-azimuth]] [[Gregorian telescope|Gregorian]] multi-purpose open telescope with the provision of carrying out night time stellar observations using a spectrograph.<ref name="harvard" /> It hopes to resolve features on the [[Sun]] of the size of about 0.1 arcsec. The focal plane instruments are to include a high resolution polarimeteric package to measure polarization with an accuracy of 0.01 per cent; a high spectral resolution spectrograph to obtain spectra in 5 widely separated absorption lines simultaneously and high spatial resolution narrow band imagers in various lines.<ref>Singh, J. Proposed National Solar Telescope [http://prints.iiap.res.in/handle/2248/1758 Journal of Astrophysics & Astronomy, Vol. 29, No. 1 - 2, pp. 345 - 351]</ref>
