Struve dome at dusk
A three-frame panorama by Autostitch, showing the dome of the Otto Struve Telescope at dusk, Nov. 18, 2006. This is the "McDonald Observatory" of my youth (the 1960s) that I remember from many public observing trips while I was in high school. At that time visitors were allowed to park along the street at the lower edge of this photo. Now only staff and "SVP visitors" (that was us this weekend!) can drive up. Visitors come up on shuttle buses that depart before nightfall.
