An update is overdue. Major sections of the Espin telescope have been removed to a safe place away from the vandals and the Urban Explorers. We were able to recovery both the primary and secondary intact. The primary has suffered following twenty years exposed to the elements. The secondary, still in its protective cover, was as good as new.
We aim to recover the remaining Ash dome because it’s in good condition and will help with our fund-raising efforts, which are needed to cover the cost of the demolition of the domes and site clearance.
We will establish a CIC to help manage any costs and, of course, any donations.
So far, so good. I’ll post another update shortly.
Best regards
