Kitt Peak



Up at kitt Peak for the next few days - engineering on the 2.3 meter (90 inch) telescope to check primary and secondary mirror collimation and do some astrophotography. the sky cleared late but the humidity is 93% and we can't open the dome. Temperature is now 18 degrees fahrenheit - BRRRRRRRR!

That second picture almost looks like an HDR shot. I'm hoping it warms up in the next couple days before I show up for the start of my 8 nights on Wednesday....
