Astro-Physics at Obstech (Observatorio El Sauce)

Brian Valente
 

Hello fellow Astronuts

One of the many things I did while "down south" is touring the 10 (and growing) roofs at Obstech. I was struck my how many Astro-Physics mounts there are there.

Unofficially I asked if there was one mount that was the most reliable (non-leading question btw), and they definitely stated one mount vendor stands out for least problems and most up time. 

I won't mention exactly which mount vendor, but you can guess ;)

Anyways, here's a collection of some pictures I took of the mount images

Thanks for the A-P mount vignette. There must be more A-P mounts per square foot installed there than anywhere else in the world. -Best, Robert

Thanks Brian- I responded to a later post in the thread but thought better of it if I responded to the original post. -Best, Robert
