Mt Wilson Scenery at CHARA site

Scenery at CHARA site on Mt. Wilson, LA County, California.


These photos have been reduced to half size for easier viewing, but if you have a fast enough connection to see them in their full glory, the full size version is here. Photos taken within a few days of 11 May 2000.


Looking over the Santa Anna Race Track

Same view, zoom in a little

Now looking more towards the east. This morning picture in mid-May 2000 shows the marine layer over the valley. Pasadena, underneath, may be stuck with the beginnings of its "June gloom" of overhead clouds, but Mt. Wilson is usually above the clouds. Sometimes, though, the clouds rise to where we are giving us fog.
