Unfortunately this is a composite, a poor one at that, because I waited too
late in order to get some foreground objects. Taken from outside the 60" Mt
Wilson scope. I should have taken a shot from inside the dome like this
one:

Or with the pair next to the 100" solar telescope:

Don't know who took those two.

Sorry but that solar telescope is *not* of 100" aperture....

Sure, there's a 100" scope nearby, but that 100" scope cannot be used for
solar observations and is therefore not a solar telescope.

D'oh, I have no idea how that popped out of me. I believe that's the
150 ft tower.
