The instrumentation consists of a remote controlled Baader-AllSky-Dome with full ASCOM-compatibility, based on a control platform developed at the Open University in UK ( http://pirate.open.ac.uk ), a Planewave corrected Dall Kirkham Cassegrain astrograph optics with 24″ aperture and 70 mm flat field, a 10 Micron GM 4000 HPS german equatorial mount w. ultra high precision encoders, enabling ungiuded imaging, and SBIG STX 16803 CCD-camera. Ultimately the system will serve for high resolution spectroscopy w. a professional Echelle-Spectrograph (BACHES).
