Kitt Peak National Observatory, Arizona, USA.
This photo is taken from the 4.0 metre Mayall Telescope building - the largest one on the mountain.
I never actually observed here, but I did spend several hours on the mountain after dark. I was attending an astronomy conference in Tucson, and there was a day trip organised to tour the observatory. We spent the better part of the day here, but when it was time to leave our bus took an overly ambitious hairpin turn on one these narrow roads and got wedged on the road, with the middle of the bus on the road and the wheels suspended. We had to get a crane sent up the mountain to lift the bus free, which took several hours.
In the meantime, night fell, and it got cold really quickly. We took shelter in the astronomer's dining/recreation building while the observers for the evening got down to work. I spent much of the time explaining cricket to some American astronomers. :-)
This one will not appeal to anybody accept me, it is of an exhibit in the London Science Museum and it really caught my eye, the colours and depth are something my poor little compact just couldn't do justice too.
July construction progress on the Powerhouse Science Center.

Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.

After a long break from flickr, I am back! We are in the middle of APOGEE, the technical fest of our college (BITS, Pilani). Photography Club has events and workshops planned. This year's exhibition is the place where photography meets technology. More on it soon...
By the way, this snap was my entry for 'On the spot' photography competition held during APOGEE. The theme for this year's contest was 'Everyday Science'. No prize for me this time but do check out winning photographers - Abhinav Toshniwal's (Tullu) and Aman Manglik's photostreams.
Construction progress continues.

Raw stock of uranium-doped glass. Although technically radioactive, it is far less powerful a source than even the chip in your smoke detector.
Uranium glass is used in a lot of electrical devices like vacuum tubes, flash and neon tubes, and X-Ray tubes, but in small quantities around electrodes. The easiest way to identify uranium glass is with a black light - it is highly fluorescent.

(Trial of second hand unit on loan from vendor)
SETTINGS:
f/8 @ 1/15th sec.— camera set on banister surface.—(roll 1, frame 21)
COMMENTS:
A consistent problem with each frame is that the images have an identical sized out-of focus area at the left margin of the negative. It seems that the lens turret is out of alignment or focus when it starts up. If the turret were just slow to start up, then the area would be overexposed (a common problem to many older Krasnogorsk FT-2 and Horizon cameras), and the phenomenon would be expressed differently at changed shutter speeds. See video of turret turning at 1/250th and 1/15 speed.
In addition, the camera exhibits strong banding at 1/125h speed due to uneven gear movement. The banding is absent at 1/15th (see above and here) and very limited at 1/250th.
The view angle of the 26mm lens in the F7 is 126º horizontally and 55º vertically; the lens seems to be sharpest at f/8. Shooting 1/15th hand-held seems possible with a steady hand, but results in soft images due to minor focus jitters (in my hands ay least). In addition, long exposures, coupled with the wide angle, mean that people are caught moving through the frame
