In my article: https://www.bajabound.com/bajaadventures/bajatravel/san_pedr...

You will read: In 1979, Mexico’s largest telescope was installed with its 84-inch mirror. In 2017, three telescopes that make up the TAOS II Project (searching for small objects beyond the orbit of Neptune) were installed.

The three scopes you see in my photo above is the TAOS-2 project.

I found this on a google search.
TAOS II will operate three 1.3 m F/4 telescopes manufactured by DFM Engineering, Inc., each with a 2.3 deg.2 field of view.
