NOA 1972

Here is photo that I took in the Fall of 1972. At that time the observatory was in use, as can be seen by the dome being open. A 10-inch Razdow Ha telescope, which eventually was moved to Pendeli, was in operation at the site.

I was wondering when I took the photograph. By looking at the Sun's shadow, I can ascertain that the soon to set Sun is South of West and therefore we had passed the Autumnal Equinox. The side of the observatory that we are looking at is the West side.
