Small work – big effort

After the drive units of the large dome were overhauled, we had to seal some joints and ducts. Since these cannot be reached by ladders from the outside, we used a lifting platform and also cleaned the dome from pollen, moss and insect residues. This example shows that small jobs can be quite time-consuming, especially when valuable instruments are to be protected and professionally operated.
