Power Supply<\/strong>
The observatories are equipped with 12V and 230V power supply.\u00a0 We can also supply the piers accordingly. The 12V DC supply consists of a banana plug connection and cigarette lighter socket.\u00a0 The 230V supply is provided via the usual Namibian mains socket.\u00a0 Adapters for Euro-plugs are available.\u00a0 Our electricity is generated by our own solar and wind energy system and availability may at times be restricted.\u00a0 Please contact us in advance should you require any clarification.<\/div>\n

General Information<\/strong>
The usual accessories and batteries should be brought along.\u00a0 Dew caps against humidity are usually not required.\u00a0 Also consider inter alia, small tools, tape, flashlight (no ‘headlights’, rather red light lamps out of consideration for colleagues).\u00a0 There are 11 piers available for your own or rented devices.\u00a0 Suitable adapter plates for the steel piers are available. \u00a0 Should you, however, require an adapter plate for a\u00a0 particular type of mount, we can have it made on your request, with your drawing and at your expense, or you may bring it along.\u00a0 Please refer to adapter plates<\/a>.\u00a0 Instead of transporting your heavy tripod, consider attaching your mount on a pier.\u00a0 Counterweights are also available – kindly inquire in advance about the varied hole diameters.\u00a0 Telescopes mounted on the piers do not need to be dismantled during the day, however, to protect them from dust and sun, you should bring along protective tarpaulins (e.g\u00a0 rescue foil).\u00a0 Work surfaces or tables for star maps, etc. are available.<\/p>\n

The winter months in Namibia run from May to September.\u00a0 Warm clothing for the night is highly recommended, especially for nights with strong winds when we may experience temperatures below freezing.\u00a0 The following table shows the average high and low temperatures on Hakos:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
