Day 14- Sunny Day - Calar Alto from the Cabrera Arch - Cloudy Evening.
Tuesday, February 25, 2014 at 12:30PM A bright and sunny day today. I will be viewing some potential sites for my more permanent observatory. I was talking just outside my front door when I suddenly realised that I could see the observatory at Calar Alto from my doorstep centred in the Cabrera Arch. I could only see one dome whereas previously I had imaged two from a different vantage point.

Here is a map showing the "as the crow flies" distance and the distance by road.
An easier way to see the telescopes at Calar Alto is to link to the video camera set up there! This is a still taken from the webcam video that points to the various telescopes.
Click on it and you will go to the live video feed in a new window. This is live video so you may see a car drive up or down the road!
