Wasn't able to get back to the observatory last night

To distracted with the good viewing and chatter at Sean's observing location on the island last night.

We were there until 2am.

On a different note here's a photo of the cover of the dedication booklet naming the Hector J Robinson observatory.

The cover was printed on paper that had the shade of photographer blue. Photo blue would not show up in a scan as a color and wouldshow up as white. The original folders would not scan as blue if you tried to copy them.

It's possible that this fased or at least moder cameraslike the iPhone will record photo blue and not ignore the color.

In any event here it is. And as you can see the observatory was named after the school teacher in 1975, long after he retired. He came back and visited for the dedication we had for him. And altough it was built in 1964 it was not named until 1975 by the school board that was lobbied by the school club and likely the club sponsor at that time.

Note we didn't have a sidewalk and the dooris lower now since the floor was raised in 2009 thanks to the many volunteers and if course Toshiba.

I'd mention more detailsbut there is more on the FAAC webpage. Google FAAC aatronomy to find those links.
