the original page in german:

the instrument is retired because of - you guess it: CCD

BTW the guys of this observatory built a 50cm RC Telescope (optics by LOMO) designed by the late Rudolf Pressberger.
Does anybody know of a similar ATM project? (Not to build a big amateur telescope but a small professional scope!)

cheers
