I am in the left had image @ the bottom of the page,my partner Kirk is
on the right he has been @ Griffith for 26yrs and also operates the
60" & 100" telescopes @ Mt. Wilson.. The images in the dome were taken
just prior to opening as we were bringing the instrument back to life
after being mothballed for 4 yrs. Robert

That Tesla Coil is really cool. I wonder how difficult it is to build one.
Has anyone here built one?

Hi,

Thanks, now I don't need to go as there is very little love lost
between Krupp and me.

Why don't you like Mr. Krupp? Isn't he the manager of the observatory?
