New Toys!

Hi All,

The university where I work has recently finished a new observatory building which I have been having great fun playing with! It houses 6 telescopes; 4 Meade 12" schmidt-cassegrains, a Meade 5" refractor and my 20" PlaneWave. All of them have CCD cameras. Add to them a 20" PlaneWave in a separate dome, and my own 5" refractor, my C14, both with CCD Cameras and that means a LOT of imaging! Finally I also have an 18" dobsonian for visual observing while the other scopes are imaging.

Only one problem....... it takes FOREVER to pack up that many scopes!!!

Another picture inside. My 20" is in the back corner while the university's 20" is in the dome in the background.

Very nice! It must be Texas Tech, I don't know of many liberal arts schools which would have that quality for an optical array.
