This is not your backyard kind of telescope.  This is a world class, high technology Ritchey-Cretien 0.7 meter telescope.  It features unrivaled visual astronomy and potential science for educational institutions.

With Direct Drive motors on each axis, a small central obstruction (< 30 %), and optional GPS/PTP encoder synchronization and carbon fiber hard-shroud, this is an ideal platform for commercial entities within the laser communication and satellite laser ranging sectors.
