The Planewave 14” Corrected Dall-Kirkham telescope and dome are the newest on the Mountain. Construction on the site started in 2015 and the entire system was commissioned over the next two summer seasons, and in Fall 2018 the Planewave started observations.
In 2006, the original lens for the Bausch & Lomb telescope cracked beyond repair due to constant heating and cooling from use in the heliostat. The 18-inch and 16-inch teaching telescopes on the Observing Deck were replaced by two 20-inch Planewave CDK telescopes in 2017, named Artemis and Apollo. [citation needed]
The term is also used, even more specifically, to mean a "monochromatic" or sinusoidal plane wave: a travelling plane wave whose profile () is a sinusoidal function. That is, (,) = (() +) The parameter , which may be a scalar or a vector, is called the amplitude of the wave; the scalar coefficient is its "spatial frequency"; and the scalar is its "phase shift".
PlaneWave Instruments' PW1000 Observatory System won the Coolest Thing Made in Michigan contest run by the Michigan Manufacturers Association.
The FUT (SONG) Telescope has 0.6 m (2 ft 0 in) Planewave Instruments CDK-600 optics used as a research and outreach telescope by the Aarhus University and the SONG team. The USQ-Louisville Telescope has 0.3 m (1 ft 0 in) Planewave Instruments RC-12.5 optics as a teaching and research robotic photometry telescope.
The six telescopes on the deck are a 5.5-inch TEC wide-field refractor, an 8-inch Moonraker Victorian refractor, a 32-inch Starstructure Dobsonian reflector, a 16-inch Meade ACF catadioptric reflector, a 17-inch PlaneWave CDK catadioptric reflector, and a 14-inch PlaneWave CDK catadioptric reflector.

The two observatories consist of three domed telescopes. The Vestal street location houses research offices as well as the 17-inch Plane Wave Dall-Kirkham telescope. This telescope was installed in 2008 after the completion of the Loines Observatory.
The telescope is located at Yebes ... first element encountered is an offset-parabolic with a focal length of 1.36 metres which converts the incoming quasi-plane wave ...
