Anytime you need a crane and linear rails to install a piece of astronomy equipment is a good day(s). We hope it brings you many years of good service!
The scope is quiet, but what about the dome. That one looks much newer and probably better engineered than the domes I am used to, but I still suspect it will be noisy. I assume observation is all through sensor and not eyepiece. Great looking setup, have fun.
An excellent video, but I have to say I cringed when I saw that guy eating pizza in the dome, especially since it was while you were in the process of installing the primary!
I agree. Fortunately the people handling the mirror were all wearing new latex gloves. I was part of the team placing the mirror and it was a bit scary moving something that took 3+ months to produce.
The telescope (PW1000) cost $650,000. That probably does not include installation...but that wouldn't cost much in comparison to the cost of the scope.

The mirror thickness to diameter should be 1:5 for instruments larger than 250 mm. 05:35 The thickness of the glass of this telescope is 3 times less than required. In addition, it is clear that the glass has a layered structure and is most likely glued. If you do something, do it well, and not for advertising purposes or something worse.
The primary mirror is not glued. The 1-meter primary mirror is solid Light-Weighted Fused Silica glass. The backside is CNC machined to remove glass, reducing weight and allowing faster cooling times.

I see the PlaneWave CEO really loves his job that he did the install and knows everything about this telescope from ground up :D
Exactly what I wanted to say, but this comment is already here )
Badum tsss! :-)
What a wonderful instrument. A complete system so incredibly engineered.
For about half a million that telescope looks like a steal. It looks impressive.

Never thought I would turn down the bass on my subs on a video like this lol wish I could see this set up in person!!
Superb telescope 🔭❤️, amazing video thank you for sharing 🙏🎁🎉🎉🎉🎉
I hope to see pictures and live video from space with this beautiful toy👌
Best part of the whole video... 06:21 - Matt, chowing down on the pizza! 🤣🤣
very nice 😎 sure takes a huge dome for a scope.

This is only 2 stops up in aperture from a 16" truss dob that costs a few grand.
Dobson are the best scope !

I'd cut him some slack.
Well, maybe the pizza guy's greasy thumbprint will be responsible for some astronomer discovering a new nebula :-)

These ritchey cassegrain are more expensive than these dobsonian scope…
Where was this located ? From the UK 🇬🇧 Further what was it intended for I take it not for private use surely at $650,000 plus dome and services.
As far as i know the telescope alone retails for 650,000$ not included freighter/shipping costs or services. The ash dome isn't included either.
That slews fast :D
Vocês não mostram os espelhos primário e secundário , que eu maís gosto ? Talvez seja no vídeo seguinte , obrigado !👍
Muito chic alto nível espetáculo
Wow just wow
WOW !!!
How much cost to setup this telescope?? My target buy this telescope by 2022.
$575,000
Nice
I would take that if you gave it to me.
How do you overcome field rotation?
What are these 4 linear actuators around the OAT? Automatic primary mirror shutters?
Yes, they control the 4 primary mirror shutter vanes.
Soo how much does it cost? this 1 meter telescope???
$500k
I need 1+ meter telescope on my roof).
Where I can see youre results
Show some videos what it is seen through it.
I want one
how much would a telescope install like this cost?

I guess there was no money left in the budge for good music. I tried to watch... but just couldn't.
You could have turned the volume down and put on a piece of your choosing.
