Description

In preparation of my move to a remote observatory in Namibia (Hakos) , I installed my Esprit 120ED ,which had been idle over two years, on the GM 2000
Also a new camera was installed (2600MC) and a rotator. (Falcon Pegasus )
One will remark the image shows spikes , these were created by installing a 3D-printed spider in front of the telescope.
This is a personnel preference.
