This is the telescope:

That occlusion legit makes it looks like it was taken from a window on the ISS or something. Nice!
Bruh don't lie we know you're actually in space
I am pretty high but not that high
Great picture! I might use that as my new phone wallpaper, if that's ok with you.
Yes, of course! Glad you like it :)
Thanks!
That's so cool :D
That's really cool! Are you an astronomer? Or if not, how do you get telescope access?
Nope, not an astronomer. There are actually public tours at the observatory but I was invited to a private event from one of the people who run the observatory/tours.
No OP, but I got to go on a tour night of an observatory in the US and there was a variety of telescopes we got to look through. It was really cool.
Majestic! And that telescope too, what a powerhouse!
