Subject: MLRO dome installed


Dear all,
I&#180;m glad to inform you that the custom 9.5 meter aluminum Observa-Dome
has been successfully installed and tested on the roof of the MLRO
building on Friday, May 21st.
The dome weights 6.5 tons and its maximum rotational speed is 20
degs/second. It has a cylindrical base which allows the telescope an
unobstructed view down to -5 degs with respect to the horizon. Pictures
of the dome will be posted soon on our web pages.
Best regards

Giuseppe Bianco
