Here's another look at the C14 inside the observatory.  In the background we can see some photos that George Korody took.   George had a C14 of his own and took many great photos with it.  He helped setup the observatory and has been a FAAC member for many years.  On the C14 we can see there are two telescopes which are kind of difficult to see from this angle. A Stellacam Camera which is a special astrophotography video camera is mounted on the back of a Meade 80mm refractor telescope.  Cables hook the camera up to a normal TV set which can show live views of the moon or even the planet "pluto".  When we saw Pluto on the TV monitor, we did that using the C14 and the Stellacam.
