All the domes are outfitted with laptops, systems
for directing the telescope, fiber optic networking, and speakers,
so we can play music!

Soon to come will be a bluetooth network and palm
pilot for each dome to make telescope operation easier.

A closeup of the sun filter.

The system for the telescope's motors to interact
with the computer.

We have an eyepiece projection system and a rotating
eyepiece system to be used with the scope.

Some of the eyepieces for the projection system.

The operations room for the Alumni telescope.

This seems to be a weather observing station of
some sort, but none of the students actually know. Maybe Doc could
tell us.

The observatory is also home to the SCOLA satellites
which bring in multilingual television for the foreign language
department.

One of the 10D cameras we use for taking pictures.

One of the elder cameras which went piggyback on
the telescopes.

The network hub of the astro center. Crazy.
