Comments
During the year 2011 two major improvements occurred, the Adaptive Optics unit SBIG AO-7 in February and the 10 Micron GM2000 HPS mount with a new pier in August. The latter has required some changes to the observatory in order to accomodate the bigger set. Go here if you want see the old setup.
