Original Text
We had to go up to Paloma to see the observatory/telenocope. Wonderful history, rich visitor center and good viewing room with observatory range and mount. If we visited on summer weekends, we will take this trip. Now I see the largest radio telescope (Arecibo), the largest mirror (Hale / Palomar), and the largest refractor (Yerkes). My wife will be excited when I fill out the next travel details.

    This observatory is an active research facility. But it is open to the public seven days a week. There are self-guided tours and behind the scene tours. Also a gift shop. If you're taking a drive up to Palomar Mountain be sure and go to the top!
