Default Lowell Observatory....

Just got back from a trip to Arizona and had a great visit to the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff.

Nice facilities and super nice staff there.

The seeing was a bit marginal due to a weather front moving through. Got to see Saturn through the historic 24" Clark refractor, Mars through a 20" Dob, and the double-star Castor and Saturn through a 16" Cat.

A great evening out for a measly $6 admission.

If you're going anywhere near the Grand Canyon make sure you add the observatory to your itinerary!
