I suppose the artist's image is as good as anything, since we aren't there to see for ourselves. Could be worse, too.

Lower down is a picture of the MEO Observatory at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Apparently, they've switched out the 10" magnetic imager from the tall rolloff building in favor of a 14" SCT. I was there in 2000, and saw the SHS. The small dome at the foot of the tower held a 6" refractor with an unused HA filter that supposedly belonged to the University of Oklahoma. I generously offered to return it to them or, if they weren't ready, to store it for them. For some reason, they declined. :scratch:

Maybe they were hoping you would borrow the Observatory to and were a tad disappointed:lol:

Here's another link although Europe will be out of the picture.

Yeah, that must be it. It wouldn't have fit in my luggage, though.
