Dave, on that picture I am standing like 100m below MMT telescope on the mount Hopkins. The view of Tucson, is fairly from south of southeast. But I've been on Mt.Lemmon, the LBT scope. I guess Mt.Lemmon has a little more trees around, otherwise it looks really similar. spacibo michael, ti otkuda? iz rosii? Tuugii -------------------- telescope=time machine...
