For over 30 years in weekly operation with two events. The optics and the tracking still sufficiently meet the requirements for presentation operation. Regardless of the weather, multimedia equipment and a Baader Planetarium are available.
The astronomers:
Lothar Scherp – since 1990
Arthur Battenberg – since 2009
Note from Baader Planetarium:
We are pleased that after more than 30 years this 5.3M dome is still in regular use and continues to give interested visitors a view of the sky. The design of the Baader 5.3 m Advanced slit dome has changed considerably in the meantime – with a wider slit opening, fully automatic remote operation, and an optional high-speed option for SLR / SSA / LaserCom.
Many thanks to Mr. Battenberg for the initiative of contacting us after all these years and for adding this beautiful dome with image and short statement to our website.
