C14 Roll off roof Observatory CRO 7-24-21
At CRO (Cheddar Ranch Observatory) one of the publicly available telescopes is a Celestron C14 edge HD, pier mounted with a CGE-Pro mount. It is located in a "roll off room" with electric winches to open the roof.
The Oklahoma City Astronomy Club is a 501(c)(3) Science Education and outreach organization. OKCAC owns and operates CRO (Cheddar Ranch Observatory). CRO is located in Western Oklahoma in a Bortle-3 zone.
This photo was taken while a full moon was rising to the East. We were at the observatory doing maintenance. You can just see the top of the 15" dome in this photo. The 15" dome houses a 30" go-to Dobsonian telescope with mirrors made by Ken Lockwood and the telescope made by Starstructure Telescopes.
I will share photos of that observatory soon.
