                off-axis   mount and the optics are of a Ritchey-Chretien design. On account of the   telescope's mount and the limited space inside the dome, the telescope has   significant
  pointing restrictions. The telescope is at a   geographical location of 70°44'7"662W 29°15'14"235S and an altitude of 2340   metres  |
