August 12, 2005
"MOUNT WILSON ---- At first blush, the thought of dropping $900 to use an old telescope for the night might sound a little like insanity...That's the allure of the 60-inch reflector telescope at Mount Wilson, north of Los Angeles...one of, if not the largest available for public usage..."
