The Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope (JKT) has a parabolic primary mirror of
diameter 1.0m. It is equatorially mounted, on a cross-axis mount,
which allows operation east or west of the pier. Normally it is East
of the pier, if operation West of the pier is required the user should
contact the telescope manager in advance. The secondary is a
hyperboloid, which gives a conventional f/15 Cassegrain focus.
