CES "relaxes" among the many computers that "assist" today's up-to-date astronomer
 

Office 01: CES "relaxes" among the many computers that "assist" today's up-to-date astronomer. The modern computer helps speed up all areas of astronomical research, such as the drawing up of new and revised star-charts.

 
Telescope with attached eyepiece clearly visible
Dome with telescope just visible
This is the "business end" of the telescope when the dome is open
18. Telescope with attached eyepiece clearly visible.
17. Dome with telescope just visible. A little too wide for my lens. Could do better with a good wide-angle lens.
19. This is the "business end" of the telescope when the dome is open.

 Unfortunatly, there are no enlargements available for these three images ...

... however, I think the three below more than make up for their lack!

Set to visual - eyepiece at left is visible
5 different eyepieces, of varying magnification, are clearly visible toward the bottom right.
CES prepares for the night's work.
