The assembly of the 100 inch telescope model of the Mount Wilson Observatory in the United States, Los Angeles area, is finished.
Mount Wilson Observatory |
Inaugurated in 1917, the Hooker telescope remained for a very long time the largest telescope in the world, until the 5 meter Hale telescope on Mount Palomar was completed in 1949.
Paper model at 1/150, reduced to 1/220, very complex (22 pages of parts and 29 pages of instructions not easy because without diagrams and with few photos), sold formerly on the website of the telescope for its maintenance. It is currently no longer available!
