The washing of the 200-inch mirror was completed on Thursday and the Big Eye is now back in the telescope.
I took several hundred photos of the event and it will likely be sometime next week before the best of them are posted here. In the meantime, let me show you what it was all about with a before and after photo of our 14.5 ton glass mirror.
That is a dramatic difference and a job well done by the Palomar crew.
