Building the Palomar Telescope Lecture

 

Stuart and Bonnie have property on Palomar and are related to the engineer in charge of this historic trip.  Sounds like a fun event! 

From: Stuart Resor

Hi Guys!
It looks like I’ll be giving a short lecture on “Building the Palomar Telescope” at Borrego Springs ABDNHA , Dec 8th in the evening. After the lecture, you are invited to look at the night sky through a telescope.  Save the date and we’ll have the details for you later.

My uncle-in-law, Harper Mack, was the San Diego County engineer in charge of improving the South Grade to facilitate the moving the 200″ mirror up the mountain.  The photo: Moving the mirror up…near the top. A 32 hour process from Pasadena. Think we could find the exact spot that photo was taken?
