      Description

      First real image from new observatory! Installation completed 3 AM Friday morning and this image taken Saturday! Many thanks to OPT and Planewave for making this possible.

      Lots of other galaxies were picked up with this 24" mirror in a 21.4 sky with just 3 hours of exposure. Do you see the tiny interacting galaxies?
