Here at Palomar we are celebrating by having an engineering run. During the engineering run members of the staff here will make repair and improvements to the telescope's mirror supports, wiring, and dome rails. There's a lot of work going on.
I have been going around taking pictures and yesterday I put together two 3-D shots of the Hale. So if you've got red-blue glasses, put them on and click on the images below.
I'll post more images from the engineering run soon, but don't expect to see them in 3-D.Oh, for those of you keeping score at home it was on this day 60 years ago that it was announced that the name of the 200-inch telescope would be the Hale Telescope. More on that later.

What method and equipment did you use to make these anaglyph images? I very much enjoyed viewing them.
Not a very precise method: Snap a shot. Take a small step to the right & snap another. Then combine the images in a photo program.
