    In 2023, the private observatory of our customer, Mr. Backmeyer, was upgraded with brand-new equipment. Our team dismantled the old instrumentation (Celestron C14 with CGXL mount) and replaced it with a 10Micron GM3000 HPS with PlaneWave CDK17 and the latest camera technology. The facility is operated using a Baader OMS (Observatory Management System) in the existing 3.5m Allsky Dome. For more information about this installation, including a detailed construction and experience report, please click here: 3.5m AllSky Dome - Ulf Backmeyer In August 2022, the idea for the Hellas Sky project was conceived during a workshop.

    Since September 2023, our observatory is the proud owner of a Baader Planetarium observatory. Through the EU-wide LEADER fund for regional development, we were able to secure funding for a modern and future-proof telescope that can also be remotely controlled from our lecture hall or externally. We particularly focused on promoting astrophotography and improving the visualization of the starry sky for our guests, which was previously difficult to implement at our observatory. Until now, our instruments were mainly focused on ease of use and demonstrability for visitor groups. With the 16" Alluna Astrograph, along with a modern camera and mount, we now have an absolute dream setup, allowing us to conduct observations at a high level. The sky in Upper Lusatia is very dark in...

    This entry was posted on April 16, 2024 by Team Baader Planetarium

    When it comes to astronomical accessories, first impressions can be just as important as the technical specifications. The Baader 2" Cool-Ceramic Safety Herschel Prism Mark II – (Visual / Photo) (various versions available) is no exception. In this blog our customer Ian Aiken is going to list some of the key features that he has read in promotional material, from observations he has made and from his own experience using this product.

    3,2 Meter Classic Dome (Spaltkuppel)

    Setting up the dome and installing the instruments went very smoothly. A big compliment to the Baader installation team. However, the subsequent commissioning should not be underestimated, especially if, as in our case, you have no prior knowledge of remote operation. Here, however, the after-sales service was very helpful, and with two TeamViewer sessions all problems could be solved. Since then, the dome has been working perfectly for private use as well as for the projects of the Trier Observatory Association. Georg Wendt Note from Baader Planetarium GmbH: We have created a short video with drone and image material of this beautiful turnkey observatory in an idyllic landscape:
