More telescopes.

I went back to Michigan's observatory outside of Tucson.  The data gathered weren't for me, but I was there to train a new observer.  I had a really enjoyable time and took a bunch of pictures of telescopes and sunsets.  There's nothing new there.

Here is a picture that encompasses both of telescopes and sunsets.  The dome in the foreground is the 1.3-m telescope that I have spent a significant amount of time using (and have a few nights coming up in June).  In the background (tiny and right next to the foreground dome) is the 4-m telescope that I will be using for the first time in June (just before the nights on the other telescope).  I'm quite pleased about that.
