Each station consists of a Celestron C11 telescope. A fourth station has a Celestron C14 telescope. All telescopes are operated on fully electronically controlled Skywatcher EQ8 mountings and equipped with additional instruments. These include a digital colour camera for deep sky observations, a scientific CCD detector, a spectrograph as well as eyepieces and filters. Each individual station has a retractable protective building (“Cube Shelters”) which serves as a heated control room during operation.
All stations in the school lab are extensively equipped with instruments. These include eyepieces and filters, one digital colour camera each for deep sky observations, a scientific CCD detector, and especially a spectrograph.
