Cerro Tololo and Andes mountains
The two largest telescopes getting ready for a night's observing. On the left is the 4 meter Blanco telescope, on the right is the 1.5 meter CTIO telescope.
http://www.buytelescopes.com/content...servatory.jpeg Next picture shows one of several control panels that operate the 4 meter telescope. This one controls the large wide field imaging array which consists of 62x 2048x4096 CCDs that covers 2.2 degrees of sky. It has a resolving power of 0.26 arc seconds. http://www.buytelescopes.com/content...trol-room.jpeg |
