Actually it's merely a 20 inch RCOS. smile We're setting up a pair of automated telescopes to study star formation. The other is a Stellarvue SV135 which sits in a small dome next door to this one.

So just how big is the 3600, how much does it weigh, what do you rate the load capacity?

Impressive...
