The telescope is equiped with an equatorial drive, precision 2 inch focuser, guide scope, and adapters for prime focus photography.
Assorted eyepieces are also available.
The telescope was originally built by a dedicated group of early members of the Ottawa Centre, who are remembered on a plaque on the side of the telescope. Both the plaque and telescope are shown below. Celestron SCT and a 10 inch Newtonian telescope. Unfortunately, we currently lack permanent observatory structures for these instruments. The 10 inch scope is presently in the process of refurbishment.
