Title

Da-Dah! 1974 AE instrument restoration finished

About this image

This has been a nearly 5-year journey. If I knew then what I know now I perhaps wouldn't have started. Early indications are the effort has been well worth it. The instrument weighs in at a shade over 600lb and fills a 3.5m Sirius dome. Now doing shake-down adjustments, polar alignment and all those little jobs that only become apparent from using the thing.
