Navy Prototype Optical Interferometer

Hi All,

Today I had another relaxing start to the day. A nice coffee and lunch. I then
visited the most complicated observatory I have ever seen.

Even though I understand the basics of this instrument it gave me a bigger headache the more I learned about it because it is sooooo complicated.

Amazing! This is so complicated there is a full time mathematician working on the calculations involved ... ooh here comes that headache again.

Tomorrow ... Lowell Observatory, the home of the dwarf planet Pluto discovery telescope.

Cheers,
Jeff
