kittpeak 2014 Up

View looking south from our little house
The 84-inch dome and 17-day old moon ...
... and a tree :-)
We used this, the WIYN 36-inch telescope
Looking north, we se..ng over other scopes
Tucson lies in the v..ey behind this ridge
Count the telescopes.. are more behind us)
The McMath Solar Telescope
The Mayall 4-meter i..ope at Kitt Peak ...
... but one small mo..ooth rim can move it
Dorm for observers i..4-meter building ...
... has all the latest appliances ...
... a rec room, AND ...
... a spot for pumping iron!
In the control room of the 36-inch
Is that really a death ray from Jupiter?
No, we just overexposed it (a LOT)
Scientists at work
I like watching clou..ss over the mountain
View looking south from our telescope
It was very dry during our visit
The view looking east
Cloudy skies make astronomers unhappy, ...
... but they can make a nice picture
Long shadows as the sun falls low
Western sky at sunri.. we prepare to leave
