The goal of Ursa is to provide high-quality and timely information on today’s astronomy, as well as to provide good conditions for amateur astronomy. The new Alluna RC16 went into operation in an existing dome on a Paramount mount in April 2013. The first tests have been carried out and produced successful astrophotography at the first attempt. Unfortunately, the bright season begins in Finland now, hence the conditions for use are first limited in time.

Jukka-Pekka Teitto, Project Manager Ursa ry, Finland writes: "Everything works fine and we have learned that this telescope has what we wanted!"
