Default ASTRO: Pink Clubhouse at Stellafane

Picture taken at the 2007 Stellafane Convention. It shows the Pink Clubhouse
Observatory, which is listed on the official US National Historical Landmark
Registry.

Quote from the Stellafane website: The Stellafane Clubhouse built in 1924,
is notable in that it includes a Polar Cassegrain Telescope, Transit
Telescope, Solar Telescope and South Wall Sundial. All of the instruments
except the Transit Telescope are still operational. It also attracts
attention because of its unique pink color. There are three rooms on the
first floor: The fireplaced meeting room, the kitchen, and a workshop (which
is now used as a kitchen extension). Upstairs, reached by a retractable
stairway, are two rooms, originally used as bunkrooms, and now used for
storage. Club meetings are still held here, except when snow prevents access
in the winter months.
