	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).

	Caltech Astronomy : An Overview of the Palomar Observatory
		Palomar Observatory is owned and operated by the California Institute of Technology, a privately endowed educational and research institution located in Pasadena, California, and is used to support the scientific research programs of Caltech's faculty and students.
		The principal instruments at Palomar are the 200-inch Hale Telescope, the 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope, the 18-inch Schmidt telescope, and the 60-inch reflecting telescope.
		The History of Palomar Observatory really began in the mid-1920s, when results from the Mount Wilson Observatory's 100-inch telescope demonstrated the need for a larger instrument if expected advances in astronomical research were to be realized.

		Mt Wilson Observatory was founded by George Ellery Hale in the early years of this century, initially as an out-station of the University of Chicago's Yerkes Observatory.
		The first observations from Mt Wilson, using the Snow solar telescope, shipped from Yerkes, were made in 1905, and work on the 60-inch started in the same year, led by George Ritchey.
		The Mt. Wilson shuttle in the early 1900s (Caltech archives): the un-named driver is on the far left; the passengers are Hale, George Ritchey, the main architect of the 60-inch and 100-inch telescopes, and John D. Hooker, the funding source for the 100-inch Hooker reflector.

	THE OUARTZ CONNECTION
		In 1928 George Hillary Hale (1868-1938) suggested that an observatory be built on the top of Mt. Palomar, elevation 6,126 feet, forty miles northeast of San Diego, California.
		It was determined that the purest quartz was found at Chestnut Flat Mine on Mt. Chestnut near Penland in Yancey County, N.C. It had an elevation similar to that of Mt. Palomar.
		A sharp eye is kept out by Palomar observers for large asteroids or meteors which have escaped their orbit and are headed toward earth.

	Godzilla Meets Mt. Palomar, 1996
		The Palomar Observatory dome was concealed behind some trees; other foliage obscured any views of the surrounding landscape.
		I overheard a couple of riders claiming to have nearly fallen asleep descending off Mt. Palomar - so it wasn't just me. Then, Strobe showed up and I felt somewhat heartened by this: pleased that he was still going strong; pleased to be matching his pace.
		John, an expert in all local riding matters, had already thought of a minor variaion to the day's ride which would bring the mileage down to 200 and reduce the climbing: he reckoned that, as it was, it would be 11,000 ft. by the end of the day.
