Hello, do you rent telescopes in Namibia, or do you have personal ones available at the accommodation?

Good afternoon!
We rent out setups.
But you can also bring your own, though you'll have to travel to maintain them.

And how much is the rent there? Do they send all the data: lights, flats, darks, biases?

If you reduce the L a bit, the color will become a deep cyan, like that of the Horsehead Nebula.
