Nice to see that they're still getting valuable data from the ol' workhorse at Palomar It is amazing considering light pollution. Still, even LA has a day now and then when you can see the observatory overlooking downtown from downtown.

Basin. It was easy to see from my backyard. I used to sit on the neighboring rooftop and imagine what great discoveries they might still be making there.
