Kai Staats has returned to Tanzania to work with Telescopes to Tanzania
Astronomy Ambassadors for the installation of the upgraded, 1969 12.5"
Cave-Cassegrain at the Mt. Meru Astronomical Observatory. This AWB
project was initiated by Pastors Chuck & Sue Ruehle, Mponda Malozo, and
the Board of Directors of the Organization for Science Education &
Observatory. With the passing of Chuck in 2016, Kai Staats assumed
leadership and has since guided the construction of the observatory and
hands-on refurbishing of the telescope.

The recent two years are captured in four photos essays at the AWB
website:

Stay tuned as the telescope is anticipated to be operational with the first week of August!
