Today we heard strange noises coming from the upper auxiliary station. Knocking, scratching, and grinding are not typical sounds at an observatory. Upon entering the station, we discovered an unknown plumber working on...
We have now begun installing corrugated sheet metal walls in the building of our lower auxiliary station below the service building. In doing so, we are following a construction philosophy that we have already...
