Telescope
In summer 2009, the Argelander Institute for Astronomy received a new telescope. This is primarily intended as an educational device and is also available to the Astroclub for observations.
The current wiki with relevant information about the telescope and Telescope Driver's License can be found here. Within the AIfA network, the website can be visited without a password. For questions please send a mail to telescope[at]astro.uni-bonn.de.
