Amherst, Mass and the FCRAO

Not a lot to say about this trip. Went to use the 14m millimeter telescope of the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory located near Amherst, Massachusetts. Beautiful country, wonderful colonial architecture, and a terrific instrument. Well worth the time. If you are not an astronomer I don't think you'll have much of a chance to check out the instrument, but the town is well worth checking out.

I obviously don't have a lot to say here (I spent most of my time in the observatory watching the instruments, reading some Hunter S. Thompson and listening to "The Clash" [wicked combination - not suggested for those prone to violence]). I just wanted an excuse to place this picture on the 'Net.
