	Apache Point Observatory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Apache Point Observatory is located in the Sacramento Mountains in Sunspot, New Mexico (USA) 18 miles south of Cloudcroft.
		The observatory consists of the Astrophysical Research Consortium's 3.5-meter telescope, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey 2.5-m telescope with a 20" photometric telescope, and New Mexico State University's 1.0-m telescope.

		APO management and safety personnel should insure that each contractor has all proper safety and health programs relative to the work described in the contract.
		All APO employees required to wear tight-fitting respirators must be medically qualified, trained in their use and be individually fit tested.
		While we have presented a fairly lengthy report, we wish to point out that, overall, we felt that a lot of good safety programs were already in place and that management had demonstrated its commitment to improve its safety program by inviting our team to visit the observatory.

		Measurements were made to determine one-way delay to the observatory and the number of lost packets in transmission.
		The Apache Point Observatory (APO) was developed by the five member institutions listed in Table I with the intended purpose of operating the observatory remotely from any member institution or by a guest observer located anywhere in the continental United States.
		When the observatory was being designed, the existing capacity provided by the local telephone service provider was not deemed adequate for real-time operations without the expense of a dedicated leased-line for transmission to the member institutions.

		In addition, scientists from other observatories and universities around the world come to the National Solar Observatory/Sacramento Peak to pursue research, along with many students in astronomy who work here during the summer months.
		Scientists are able to point the telescopes wherever they want on the Sun and to use whatever filters or other special equipment they need to complete their research.
		By examining the solar spectrum, it is possible to determine the sun's chemical composition, its temperature, the motions of its surface gases, and the strength of the magnetic field.

	The Johns Hopkins Gazette: October 26, 1998
		Prophetic photograph: For a November 1997 story in Johns Hopkins Magazine about using telescopes at Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico, research scientist Alan Uomoto was photographed with the telescope he had installed atop Bloomberg in 1993.
		By 1997, after installation at Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico, the diminutive calibrator--called an autoscope--still did not work, and the company that built the telescope quit answering calls.
		The good news is that Hopkins' old telescope is now working at Apache Point and being readied for its work for scientists who want to explore critical questions about the nature and evolution of the universe.

		The NMSU Astronomy Department operates Apache Point Observatory for the Astrophysical Research Consortium, of which NMSU is a member.
		“This is such a unique facility, in the context of all the other observatories in the world, it was inevitable to me that we would continue doing something with the Sloan telescope after the original survey was done,” he said.

	Top Story - DISK AND JET FROM YOUNG STAR DL TAURI - June 06, 2002
		However, the birth process takes millions of years, so astronomers survey many young stars at various ages, hoping to capture them at different stages in their development to build a continuous history from the examples, much as an alien explorer might take pictures of children in different grades to quickly understand how humans grow up.
		The Apache Point photo has a much wider field of view, and it was used to show more of the gas jets.
		The light, circular areas in the Apache Point image are part of the gas jet.
