My wife, kids and I recently celebrated 20 years of happy marriage with a trip to the Big Island, Hawaii. One day, we were lucky to be on top of Mauna Kea for sunset.

We had a telescope along (on the trip, not on the summit sad ) I observed Omega Centauri and the Jewel Box for the first time! What a difference a few degrees of latitude makes! grin


This is the 3.0m Nasa Infrared Telescope Facility

This is one of the Kecks (10m). I am not sure which one!
