A new Observatory has emerged in Groruddalen Oslo Norway.

The main instrument is the remote controlled 0.61m f/15 Cassegrain Nasmyth reflector build and mounted at my home in the years 1994 - 1996.

The observatory is used for CCD and visual observations of galaxies and whatever. Some evenings I invite people to a star party, then the planets often are the main attraction.

The service I can do, is to take stellar spectra of specific stars ( Continuously monitoring spectral lines if the star is not to faint. ), and photometric observations. Contact me for an arrangement.


The 0.61m f/15 Cassegrain Nasmyth.
Resolving power ( Field test on double stars.) 0.3".
Limiting magnitude depends on observer, light pollution and other
local factors. For me it is mag.15.5
Mounting : German
R.A.Drive : Sync.motor+worm gear. Medium precision ( 383 teeth )
Dec.Drive : DC motor+worm gear. Medium precision ( 359 teeth )

( New pictures coming soon. )
