Close-up of the "D" shed and the Weisen Telescope

D Shed
The D shed houses the Wiesen telescope, an 18 inch, F4.5 on
a dobsonian mount. The 18" Dobsonian is in a roll off shed.
Completely low-tech, this scope provides the intuitive ease of
control inherent in the Dobsonian design.
A long time member, Dick Wiesen was president of the MAS for
many years and an active deep sky observer. He particularly enjoyed
the MAS campouts and dark sky outings.
The purchase of this scope was inspired by memorial donations
in Dick’s name.
