The McDonald Observatory

One of the coolest days of the entire trip.
The Hobby-Eberly Telescope. The dome is covered in strips of aluminum tape.
The surface of the HET is curved, making it about $100 million cheaper than most of the telescopes in the world, and still just as effective.














View from the top.

Koji and Sarah goofin around.


HET and the moon.
The sundial, the HET, and the moon.
