At the Dahlewitz school and public observatory, an older rental telescope was replaced by a new Planewave CDK 20 on a 10Micron GM 4000 HPS mount in the end of 2018. In spring 2019 the installation of a complete observatory management system as well as the delivery of a high-quality CCD camera was following.

Now the observatory is not only fit for standard public operation, but also for demanding astrophotography and project work.
