The local Dudley observatory celebrated its 150th anniversary last night. The Dudley observatory sponsors astronomical research and civic astronomy outreach, but since the 1960s doesn't really operate a telescope. I was asked to provide one for the event's group picture. Some of us also attended the event in period costume.
The Tak is precariously perched about five feet off the ground on a piece of plywood that rests on two wooden boxes that are on a plank that is on two heavy plaster support boxes. I don't know how I got persuaded to do that. The group portrait will look something like a choral arrangement for Messiah with a lot of people on stage, the Tak is high up to one side above the last rank of people.
