At the 40th annivers..the Kiso Schmidt ...
... there were examp..ictures it had taken
The Kiso Schmidt Tel..ope: 1.05-m aperture
It's Nikon's largest optical system ever
Looking down the tube at ...
... the robotic arm which changes filters
The telescope's dome..minds me of a helmet
We had to line up fo..ligatory photographs
The metal of the dom..as a beautiful sheen
From the Observatory..sited Akasawa Forest
We took a little rai..d up into the forest
The engine is a one-man affair ...
... which was driven..ds up into the hills
We got off at a poin..rink from the stream
The water was cool and crisp ...
... and flowed over chunks of granite
Some of the hinoki h..y wierd root systems
One of the logs cut ..ed to the Ise Shrine
On the way back to T..his bag? (!elcycib)
The JR stamp for the..so-Fukushima Station
Click to see the robotic arm in action
