Installing an ASA AZ800 in the observatory at work

On August 30, 2023 we installed an ASA AZ800 telescope in the observatory at work, at the Institute of Astronomy of KU Leuven.  The telescope will be one of the telescopes of the MARVEL project, an array of four telescope we will install on the Roque de los Muchachos in La Palma,  It was a very rainy day, but we managed to put the telescope in the observatory.  Enjoy some of the pictures!
