Noticed that there is a documentary on PBS tonight (10:00pm eastern in my area) about Palomar observatory. Looks like it might be pretty interesting.

The best I've ever seen from PBS, I was seeing things I had never seen before, up there with the the 3 part NOVA, The Elegant Universe. Hale was quite a character.
