25 July 2025 — Flagstaff, Arizona, USA — Clark Telescope Dome
One of my favorite views at Lowell Observatory. The Clark Telescope Dome broke ground in 1894 and still houses the 24” refractor Percival Lowell used to pursue a keen interest in Martian canals. It’s also known for the discovery of galactic redshift and creation of Lunar maps for the Apollo Moon missions.
Strangely the first time I’ve had a chance to photograph it on a clear, moonless night with the Milky Way. The site overlooks downtown Flagstaff just a mile away, so it’s awesome that the Milky Way is still visible from there.
