Here's a really nice shot of the cerenkov telescope taken by somebody else. It's at the base of Mount Hopkins now, but will eventually be moved to a nice dark site at Kitt peak. The 12 m diameter reflector is made up of more than 300 hexagonal mirrors. The reflected light is collected by a 499 pixel camera housed in the yellow box.  Posted by Hello

Taken just outside Green Valley, AZ in January (70 F! that day). Mount Hopkins is visible in the distance on the right. Posted by Hello
