A lot of dust on the fan intake of the 17" Planewave? The location near the town only 5 miles away is showing Bortle 4 on latest sky pollution maps? Spain has many more sunny days, but frequently windy with dust and hazy cloud? Spain and Portugal really love their brightly lit streets and farms or holiday homes want dazzling security lighting. Is there really no where left! Anything can be filtered with narrowband but it used to be nice just seeing the milky way. It used to cast shadows!
they probably don't really have to do them each time. The cameras don't seem to be rotated often or even never have been. So you just need to do all the flats one time and that it you can reuse them.
only pier 4,6 and 8 are unguided (6 is also stated to be unguided but a guiding cam is clearly visible) and only because they have relatively small focal length or a sensitive enough camera to not need really long exposure. So guiding isn't useless
What an incredible place thanks for the tour it all looks very impressive well done .

Great set up. I am finishing my own 20" corrected dall kirkham and would love to move somewhere with more clear nights.
hello Peter. Do you still make dall kirkham telescopes?
where is it? is it acessible to the public?
How do these scopes do flats?
Some piers have flat panels fitted to the telescopes, some have panels on the wall and a couple we do dome/sky flats

Extremadura, you said? 🤔🤔🤔
So many unguided, personally I find no advantage using a guide scope, it’s clearly the future. Fantastic video.
