Kaimana - yes, I can answer your question. The UH Educational Telescope used to be a 24-inch telescope and dome on the mountain run by the university to train students. Around 2008 the telescope was replaced by a 36-inch telescope and dome (Hoku Kea), but the telescope was manufactured incorrectly and wasn't able to be fixed. It is now due to be removed from the mountain although I'm not certain when. There is a new 0.7-meter telescope and dome which is currently sitting in Hilo while a new permanent site is found (not on Mauna Kea).
