This is the Steward Observatory entrance sign.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steward_Observatory
Steward Observatory is the research arm of the Department of Astronomy at the University of Arizona (UA). Its offices is located on the UA campus in Tucson, Arizona (USA). Established in 1916 in a single building, it now operates, or is a partner in telescopes at, five mountain-top locations in Arizona, one in New Mexico, and one in Chile. It has provided instruments for three different space telescopes and numerous terrestrial ones. Steward also has one of the few facilities in the world that can cast and figure the very large primary mirrors used in telescopes built in the past decade."

The Catalina Highway climbs 6700 feet through semi-arid mountainsides from the north edge of the city to Tucson to the forested summit of Mount Lemmon. I took this photo in May, 1998 during a drive to the summit.

On the weekend of August 9th Tania's nephew and his wife visited us, so on Saturday we drove them up Mount Lemmon for a short hike and picnic. We followed the Meadow Trail as far as Lemmon Park and the overview.

I went hiking and camping around Mt. Lemmon in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson. I car camped in the Rose Canyon Lake campground.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Canyon_Lake
Rose Canyon Lake is located 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Tucson, Arizona in the Santa Catalina Mountains near Mount Lemmon. Rose Canyon Lake is the only lake in the Santa Catalina District that is managed for recreational fishing. It is relatively small (7 acres) and is tucked away in a picturesque stand of mature ponderosa pines high on the slopes of the Santa Catalina Mountains. A paved road through Rose Canyon Campground leads to a small parking area a short walk from the water. Anglers fish in the lake throughout the summer, though rainbow trout are stocked only during the cooler months of the season. Fish large enough to catch and take home generally are released in the lake about once a month from early May through the end of June, when water temperatures become a little too warm for these cold water fish. In mid-September, stocking resumes after water temperatures moderate a bit and continues for another couple of months. All stocking and fishing regulations for Rose Canyon lake, as well as all the other lakes within the Coronado are managed by Arizona Game and Fish.[1]
This is a beautiful place, and many people come here to enjoy the other features that it offers in addition to fishing. Tall trees and rocky slopes line the shore and are reflected in the lake’s sheltered waters. Rose Canyon Lake Trail #37 leads around the water’s edge and provides good opportunities for photography, bird watching, and just plain strolling. A few downed logs close to the water provide good places to sit and enjoy a snack or a bit of quiet meditation.[2]

This was made about an hour before sunset, and if you look hard, you might be able to see some coyote poop :)
We returned to the Marshall Gulch trailhead and then hiked up the Aspen Trail to the aspen grove, November 1979.

Here's a story that appeared in the Daily Star the next day about hiking to the Lookout. The pic illustrating the story looks almost exactly like mine! (I posted a comment at the article.)
Hiking with Jen is a trip. Next time we're going to find a good camping place to take the RV.
Map link shows the sunset location but that location is only good in the summer.
This is the Lemmon Rock Lookout on Mt. Lemmon. This building was built in the 1920's to replace an earlier wooden fire lookout tower built in 1902. This is on the National Register of Historic Places.

This fascinating pair of globular clusters lie together just beyond the spout of the Saggitarius teapot, and from our earthly vantage point they are separated by only 16 arcminutes. They are seen through the very dense starfield of the Milky Way, although NGC 6528 (right) is on the border of a dark nebula called Baade's Window.
This image was taken at the Mount Lemmon Sky Center, under the guidance of Adam Block.
