I spent my working years involved in moving some huge stuff, but I would have liked to have watched that operation of getting the mirrors up to the top of Mt Graham in Arizona!
Or better yet, been a part of it. Very cool pictures.

I'm searching high resolution photos of the Keck Domes, just as the Gemini domes have good examples ( http://gemini.conicyt.cl/index.php%3Foption=com_gallery.html ) but Keck seems to lack good images... Any help?

Nice link. I've been to the ancient observatory in Beijing. Very interesting, the mechanical devices they created to track the stars and planets.
