Our Telescopes
This web site is just starting. For now with four telescopes. Later we will add more telescopes (coming online soon will be a 200mm Epsilon Takahashi telescope, and a 30cm RC telescope with a LISA spectrograph).

Very luminous instrument, do not use during full moon, would saturate on the sky easily (except with Halpha filter). Autoguiding possible (with QHY miniguidescope).
