Yee Haa! Ride that telescope - Yerkes 40" is Science image of theweek
Not very high resolution in the free to view version but an interesting early image of the Yerkes 40" scope during the installation in 1896. http://www.sciencephoto.com/media/609612/view It is actually the dec axis being moved into position. -- Regards, Martin Brown

I just returned from a trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, where some amateurs are in the process of building a 40 inch user-friendly telescope. How far we have come the last 100 years. Uncatelescope

It looks like the Yankees came out on top! Or, I'm sure that contravenes Health and Safety at Work regulations! [BTW: Clicking enlarges the image nicely.]
