The world revolving around AZooNY
|
Kitt Peak Observatory
and Hats
Stars and artists are somehow linked in an un-explainable manner.
And here at the Kitt Peak Observatory in Arizona AZooNY gathers
creative forces and contemplates our small existence in the big
world around us. |

A nice collection of schools. We bet arranging who pays for the holiday
party is a bear! |
One can see farther from this vantage point than anyone should normally
be able to see.

The main telescope at
Kit Peak is the Mayall, a 4 meter giant. A Cassegrain type
scope, which means the main mirror focus images of AZooNY's hat into a smaller
mirror, which reflects it back and through a hole in the center of the main
mirror. Now why all the detail? Because that "hole"
in the main mirror is this donut center-like object in the photo.
Yes, it's a bigg'n hunk of glass. |
Ritchey Chretien 20 inch
Here's the RC Optical Ritchey Chretien scope resting before a big night,
hat at the controls. The hat kept slewing the scope to view passing
heads... what's up with that? |

Observatory
The unique Burrell Schmidt telescope hidden here behind
the hat. |
