Our latest exciting development is the installation of an 8-inch Zerochromat on a Paramount German equatorial mount in a custom-built observatory situated at a very dark site close to the world-renowned Arizona Sky Village. The telescope is still in the commissioning stage, but the intention is to use the instrument in a fully automated fashion via an Internet connection in the near future.

In due course we will show you the fruits of our labours in the form of some tantalising images procured with this stunning setup from a world-class observing location.

Looking inside the observatory with the run-off roof slid aside, here we see a view of the 8-inch Zerochromat ready for action targeting a gibbous Moon in the daytime sky.
