Stars turned off in SoCal
At approximatly 8:30 p.m. this Friday evening, the Spitz A3p projector at
the Mount San Antonio College Planetarium performed a final bow to the audience and dimmed its stars there for the last time. Illuminated by red and blue spots in a darkened theatre, it received a nice round of applause for its 36 years of service. It will make way for a new Zeiss machine to be installed in August, and we should reopen at the end of the year after our first renovation. Plans are being formed to donate the old star projector so that it can continue its work elsewhere. Jeff Schroeder |

On 30 June 04 at 2359 hours Pacific time, the TIE 24 inch Cole Telescope
at Mt. Wilson Observatory will be shut down for good. It will be dismantled and placed into storage later this summer. The TIE 14 inch telescope at Mt. Wilson will also be decomissioned and moved to Australia. In effect, TIE will cease all operations at Mt. Wilson Observatory TIE will continue operations at the SOTIE facility at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile and at the TIE/QIT observatory in Queensland, Australia.
