	Palomar Observatory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Palomar Observatory is a privately-owned observatory located in San Diego County, California, 90 miles (145 km) southeast of Mount Wilson Observatory, on Palomar Mountain.
		The word palomar is a La Jolla Indian dialect translation meaning pigeon haven, which is in reference to the large shoals of pigeons that can be seen during the spring and autumn months atop Palomar Mountain.
		The Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS), sponsored by the National Geographic institute, was completed in 1958 (The first plates were shot in November 1948 to and the last in April 1958).

		This survey was performed using 14 inch²; or (6 (A specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process) degree)²; blue-sensitive (Kodak 103a-O) and red-sensitive (Kodak 103a-E) photographic plates on the 48 inch (1.22 m) Samuel Oschin Schmidt (additional info and facts about reflecting) reflecting telescope.
		The camera itself is a mosaic of 112 (additional info and facts about CCDs) CCDs covering the whole (4 degree by 4 degree) field of view of the Schmidt telescope, the largest CCD mosaic used in an astronomical camera at the time.

		Palomar Observatory is a privately-owned observatory located in San Diego County, California, 90 miles southeast of Mount Wilson Observatory, on Palomar Mountain.
		This program makes use of the Palomar QUEST Variability survey [1] that began in the autumn of 2001 to map a band of sky around the equator.
		This search switched to a new camera installed on the 48 inch Samuel Oschin Schmidt Telescope at Palomar in summer of 2003 and the results are used by several projects, including the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking project.

		A talented young astronomer at the Mount Wilson Observatory, Steven Smith, was given the assignment of designing an analog computer to refine the pointing of the 200-inch telescope, using a complex and unprecedented collection of three-dimensional cams and gears to correct for minute aberrations in the apparent movements of the heavens.
		The seeing on Palomar wasn't equal to the fabulous seeing on Mount Wilson, which benefited from the unusual atmospheric inversion in the Los Angeles basin, but by the early 1930s, with the lights of Los Angeles already a problem for the telescopes on Mount Wilson, the remoteness of Palomar had become an advantage.
		Parts of the telescope mounting moved too easily, introducing vibrations which had to be dampened by adding devices to increase the friction of the mount.

	Keck Telescope Facts
		The Hale Telescope's mount is extremely massive and complicated, in part because one of its axes is aligned with earth's axis (it is an equatorial mount).
		But today's computer technology also permits use of a simple, lightweight mounting structure which moves the telescope at right angles to the earth's surface (an altitude-azimuth mount, also called azimuth-elevation), doing away with the structural nightmare of a large equatorial system.
		Instead of relying on the mechanical mounting to track the sky as the earth turns, computers calculate the exact increments to move the telescope in altitude and azimuth, and to rotate the telescope's instruments' fields of view.

		While suffering from a chronic nervous condition that often left him isolated in a darkened room, he was nevertheless able to lead the program through its most critical periods and help rescue it from a multitude of financial and organizational crises.
		The immense 200-inch (nearly 17 ft) diameter of the Palomar telescope's main mirror gave it twice the theoretical resolution and four times the light grasp of its Hale-inspired predecessor, the 100-inch reflector on Mt. Wilson.
		The design and construction of the 200 inch Palomar observatory was possibly the first "big science" project of the modern era.
