The "new" 1-m telescope was installed in the dome that previously housed a 30-inch telescope. The telescope was built by APM Telescopes[1] and was lifted into the dome on 02 August 2016. Commissioning is currently underway.
The 30-inch telescope was donated to the University of the Free State, Boyden Obs. in February 2015. Extensive renovations were carried out to the dome to customize it for the new telescope.
