The first 1-meter telescope was installed this morning at McDonald Observatory! Crews from both LCOGT and McDonald made sure that the installation went smoothly. Below are some of the first pictures of the 1-meter telescope being (gently) placed in its new home.
Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network (LCOGT) shipped their first in-house designed and fabricated 1-meter telescope to McDonald Observatory today.
