Anyone going to the OPT SCAE show in Oceanside? Istar will be there. I will be staying for a week. I plan on visiting Mount Palomar and the great 200 inch there. Anyone been there? Have any suggestions for places to see in southern Cal?

Mike, Prepare to be impressed. The pictures do not do the telescope justice! Even the observatory is impressive when you come up on it. When you think of the technology of the time, the building of this scope was quite an achievement. Hopefully you will get the tour where you get to go on the floor and actually touch it  I will never forget my visit. The 100" on Mt Wilson is impressive but the 200" is jaw dropping  Keith |

Thanks Keith, I know they only give tours on Saturday and Sunday so that's the plan. I'll take lots of pictures. Maybe I can post a few here when I get back. Just what we need here, a picture or two of a reflector  |
