Global Jet Watch South African Dome

Early in July, a team from Oxford travelled to Cape Town to install the Global Jet Watch observatory dome at the South African School. Despite the best efforts of the weather (Cape Town had its heaviest rain and worst flooding in 50 years during the first 2 days of the visit), the dome was successfully erected at the site. This was mostly thanks to the incredible level of help we were given by the school's maintenance team.

Below you can see a number of photographs of the installation process ably assisted by the school's maintenance staff, and get an idea of how bad the weather was!
