Green across the board.

The winter '12 service trip ends today. We've finished all of our scheduled work and the telescope is operating well. Possibly even more satisfying for us, our system monitoring package is all happy.

As we prepare to leave Tenerife the telescope is operating and returning good images.. so I guess all there is left to say is have a good Christmas and new year and I'll be back in 2013.

  1. Happy new year to you too, and amazing pictures! What telescope are you using? I'd like to review it on my website http://best-telescopes-reviews.com/ ! Also, - which telescope would you recommend to buyers for 2013? Happy gazing!

    1. I'm glad that you like the images, they were a few that Ed picked out that had been imaged since we completed the maintenance work.

      We have some information about our set-up over on our website (http://www.telescope.org/infopage.php?title=Tenerife_Telescope_Hardware) I am not really up to date on the latest hardware... and it depends a lot on what you want to do with it. Maybe another member of our team will be able to jump in and make some suggestions.
