We have very seldom wind here at Regensburg, Germany. Unfortunately this was one of the
few nights with wind (about 4Bft) and the telescope is fully exposused to the wind since
we do not use a dome. Therefore all the stars are elongated in 3 of the 5 exposures.
Maximum guiding errors has been 2" due to the wind which is clearly visible in the
above image..
We have installed a light shield which is a problem with wind. However I am very satisfied
with the fact that the free standing telescope can stand about 3Bft without problems. This
will allow to use the telescope in a dome or other enclosure with maybe up to 6 Bft.
