On Top of the World, Part 2

I finally got around to putting the rest of the photos together that I shot from on top of the dome for the 200-inch telescope back on February 9. The first two panoramas are posted here.


From left to right this panorama shows the Palomar Crestline area (southeast); the ridge along State Park Road; French Valley, with its pond and Morgan Hill behind it; and the dome of the Palomar 24-inch telescope. Directly behind the dome is the Temecula Valley area and Mount Wilson in the distance behind it. At the right-hand portion of the image we are looking to the north towards Hemet.
