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.
Any suggestions/comments welcome:
