    Look left in this photo of the observatory housing the scope. The scope is 10,000mm focal length f/1.24 or something like that. Will pick up light pollution pretty quick so that area is off limits to the scope. But it's likely I guess the scope which
    is a widesky survey instrument, will image portions of the sky when it's as "high" as possible, but obviously some parts of the sky, the shallow south will not be imaged.
