Wonderful pictures! On my two trips to Lowell Obs., both days were cloudy. It is nice to see your colorful night shots. It's a great place!

I scanned some of my wife's photos from out last trip for an article she and I wrote about observing Mars in 2003. Unfortunately the scanner was producing some faint lines (I replaced it since then and haven't been motivated to rescan the images!) Here are some other views, including inside the Visitor's Center:
