Installation carried out on August 28, 2023.
The coordination between the observatory’s president and the Astromanie store was excellent, resulting in a highly satisfactory outcome.
In addition to the 10Micron mount and the PlaneWave optics, several other accessories related to the astrophotography functions of the PlaneWave system were installed and connected on the same day.
The complete system — equatorial mount, optics, and accessories — was fully operational for both observation and imaging just seven days after installation.
