Αστεροσκοπείο Stefanik, Πράγα (3)

Hi Kalbie,

Very nice images indeed. Do you know if the telescope is made by Zeiss? It has that "Zeiss" look to it.

I also enjoyed the higher angle of the RA shaft on the mount. Prague is quite a bit further north of Athens-as we know.

Thanks for sharing.

Actually, it is a Zeiss, indeed. I had the opportunity to observe the Moon for a (too little for me) while and, even through thin clouds, the image was quite crisp.

The rest of the observatory with electronic presentations, meteorite collection, telescope and astronomical equipment museum, planetarium and gift shop is also very very interesting and worth visiting.
