The new telescope has arrived and I was able to install it in the Observatory last night.
It’s a Celestron C14 Schmidt Cassegrain mounted atop my Paramount GT-1100 german equatorial mount. I decided to get a large instrument to use for visual observing in the summer months and this seemed like the best balance between size, cost, and more importantly weight
I wanted to be able to lift and install the scope by myself.

My initial impressions of the views through it are WOW. More to come.
