Last week I stayed up late on a school night and made some pictures of the Milky Way. They’re posted over on West Coast Photons.
Last night I went up to Lick Observatory, on top of Mt. Hamilton. They run a Summer Visitors Program in which the public gets a look through the historic 36″ refractor and the 40″ reflecting telescope. It’s really cool.
