WMAT with HET

The Wren-Marcario Accessible Telescope (WMAT) sits on a concrete pad behind the Frank N. Bash Visitors Center at McDonald Observatory. This 100% wheelchair-accessible telescope was dedicated July 17, 2010. It allows wheelchair users greater access to telescope viewing at the Observatory's popular star parties. The Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) atop Mt. Fowlkes is visible in WMAT's central mirror.
