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.

You mean Mt. Wilson Observatory? Yes, it's visible on not-so-smoggy days to denizens of the L.A. 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.
