Kitt Peak National Observatory, AZ. Oct'02

Mayall 4-meter Telescope, KPNO. Oct'02

Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) is located 55 miles southwest of Tucson, AZ. It operates the Mayall 4-meter, the 3.5-meter WIYN , the 2.1-meter and Coudé Feed, and the 0.9-meter telescopes. Shown in the above photo are the Mayall 4-meter, the 2.3-meter, 0.5-meter, and the 0.9-meter telescopes, as well as the VLBA telescope (foreground). The 4-meter (158 inch) Nicholas U. Mayall Telescope was one of the largest optical telescopes in the world. At eighteen stories tall and located on the summit at 6875 feet, Mayall can be seen from over 50 miles away. The telescope's 15 ton primary mirror is polished to one millionth of an inch and has a reflective aluminum coating one thousandth the thickness of a human hair. The Mayall Telescope is used primarily for infrared and faint visible light observations and has played an important role in many fields of research.

Mayall may be one of the largest telescopes in the world, but the Uti can travel to clear skies anytime, anywhere!

Finger Rock Trail,

Tucson, AZ. Sep'02

Sequoia National Park, CA. Jul'02

Pacifica, CA. Jul'02

Monterey Bay, Ca. Jul'02

Finger Rock Trail is a great spot to hike and go viewing. Just north of Tucson, it is very picturesque with very clear night skies.

The large sequoias dwarfed the Uti. Not the best place for viewing - it's hard to see past the giants. These trees can reach 40ft in diameter and 300 ft tall.

Just south of San Francisco, Pacifica is a beautiful place to rest and relax. Viewing was great if kept to the southern skies (light pollution from SF)

Located midway between San Francisco and LA, another great place for viewing provided the fog dissipates. Monterey is teaming with sea life; whales, dolphins, seals, otters, and kelp forests.
