Catalina KAVX → Hollywood Burbank KBUR

A scenic flight over the Los Angeles area, climbing up to Mount Wilson, followed by a descent directly to LA Downtown, then eastward past Hollywood Hills to Burbank.

Everything except the ascent into the mountains was flown by hand. It was incredibly smooth, as the Corvalis TT (Cessna 400) handled like a dream in the great weather with little wind.

Mt. Wilson, known for its stellar views of the night sky and scenic backcountry trails, has landed a spot in many of the surrounding communities’ hearts. Fire personnel continue to keep their focus on protecting and defending this historic area.

On January 10,2025 the #EatonFire reached #MountWilson and the adjacent communications towers. Due to previous fuel treatment work done by the Angeles National Forest and the heroic efforts of firefighting personnel, no impacts were sustained to the values are risk in the area. Crews were able to extinguish the fire defending this historic site. Forces will remain in the area to monitor for any potential hotspots.

A recording of the interesting "Shadow the Scientists" live event about the re-aluminizing of the CHARA mirrors on #MountWilson a week ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4pD77nklU8

Interesting insights into the re-aluminizing procedure for the telescope mirrors of the #CHARA interferometer on #MountWilson in California during a #ShadowTheScientists video conference today. Note the paddling pool in the first image: decidedly low tech in use at the maintenance of a high-end professional observatory.

Under The 100″ Mount Wilson Telescope

Description: This one is beautiful in its abstractness. I messed with the colors a little but it was fairly monochrome to start with.

Can you guess what

On Sunday we got to go inside the huge 100 inch Hooker telescope on Mount Wilson Observatory (where Hubble made his discoveries) and listen to the Eclipse String Quartet play pieces from Philip Glass & Osvaldo Golijov. It was incredible. The dome was opened & rotated 360º before the show, it all still works! The rotation of the huge dome was so smooth we could barely feel it
