Hawaii - September 2003
|
Clive leaning on some instrument (not ours) mounted on the bottom of the UKIRT (UK Infra-Red Telescope) main mirror. I don't know how I managed to make him look as freaky as that. |
Clive and Tom Kerr, our support astronomer. |
The instument we used. |
The Japanese Subaru telescope and those Kecks again. |
Another telescope I am unable to identify, but a lovely shot nontheless. |
The stylishly designed Gemini dome as it appears when opened up. |
The CFHT (Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope). |
The open UKIRT dome. |
Sunset on Mauna Kea, no green flash was seen all week unfortunately. |
|
The UKIRT control room. I spent over 60 hours in here and 15 minutes on Waikiki beach. An astronomer's life is hard, honestly. |
