I visited the
Carnegie Las Campanas Observatory
in the Atacama desert of northern
Chile in February, 1996. My telescope was set up near Canada House (the low building with dark red roof to the right of the small central dirt road). The 40-inch Swope Telescope is at the upper right and the other silver domed Polish Telescope to the left of center. Just behind the Polish Telescope is a low white building that houses the Bruce Telescope that discovered Supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This photo was taken from the parking lot of the DuPont 100-inch Telescope. |
