===== Mounting =====
[{{ :ost:telescope:teleskop_achsen.jpg?350|Axes}}]

The mounting consists of 2 perpendicular axes:
    * right ascension (1)
    * declination (2). 
The right ascension axis is parallel to the Earth axis, pointing towards the northern/southern celestial pole on the northern/southern hemisphere, respectively. The declination axis points towards the celestial equator. The [[en:ost:telescope:setup| setup]] is described in a dedicated article.

===== Handling =====
Introductions to the general [[en:ost:telescope:handling_new| handling of the technology]] and to the [[en:ost:ccds:maximdl| usage of Maxim DL]] are of course also available.
===== Dome =====

The [[en:ost:telescope:kuppel | dome]] is made out of fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP). It was built and set up by Baader-Planetarium. The dome automatically follows the movement of the telescope. However, the azimuth, the hatch, and the shutter can be manually controlled by an infrared remote control.
