We introduce the Dichroic-Mirror Camera (DMC), an instrument developed at the<br />
University of Tokyo which is capable of performing simultaneous imaging in<br />
fifteen bands. The main feature of the DMC is the dichroic mirrors, which split<br />
incoming light into red and blue components. Combination of dichroic mirrors<br />
split light from the telescope focus into fifteen intermediate-width bands<br />
across 390 -- 950 nm. The fifteen bands of DMC provide measurements of the<br />
object's spectral energy distribution (SED) at fifteen wavelength points.<br />
During May -- June 2007 and March 2008, observing run of the DMC was carried<br />
out at Higashi-Hiroshima Observatory, Japan. We observed several objects i.e.<br />
planets, asteroids, standard stars & star clusters, planetary nebulae,<br />
galaxies, and supernovae. We describe several early scientific results from the<br />
DMC.
