The telescope is within the large cone-shaped structure seen on the previous page. The tech, Justus, got the job to get some real experience in preparation for grad school. The telescope also requires liquid helium, which they ran out of so it wasn't taking data when I came over but from what I hear, it was still a successful measurement season.
