The last couple days have been a bit slower paced. I spent the better part of Monday gathering the converted video data for Jupiter as well as some from Saturn; some people went out to a couple various small activities, but I stayed behind to work more with RegiStax and stack better images of Jupiter. Later that night we all ate from an assortment of wings from a local wing place, and proceeded to watch a film for 1.5 hours about the modern history of astronomy. This gave us background knowledge for the next couple days when we would be touring different observing sites.
Yesterday we left at 07:30 to tour the observatories at Mt Hopkins. The road up the mountain was very small, long, and curvy. However, the view was awesome, and there was a lot of different vegetation growing in that area; unfortunately most people were sleepy and did not get to enjoy it as much as they might have. Speaking of good views, the one at the top of the mountain was my favorite of the trip (this is impressive because the others were hard to top). The telescopes looked similar to the one we used, but they had different mounts, sizes, ways of focusing light; basically, there were actually lots of differences. Afterword, we watched a video of the history of Mt. Hopkins, and I am amazed that they were able to get such large objects up such a unmanuverable road.
Later we went out to eat in downtown Tucson for yet another pleasing meal. A few of us walked around for a bit, but it was late enough that most of the stores had closed down. We saw a place where they were looking at the moon as well as Jupiter, which is weird to see (to me). That was fine, but our images from the Steward telescope are much better.
