Anderson Mesa Station

On the second day of my tour of Lowell Observatory, I visited their professional facilities out on Anderson Mesa. This area includes a number of facilities including the 72" Perkins, 42" Hall, and Naval Observatory Interferometer (NOI). I also spent the night up on the mesa taking photographs of the night-sky. Unfortunately, due to fires and high winds the sky was not as dark as I would have liked, it was nevertheless unobstructed by urban-center light pollution and yielded some excellent viewing.
