This observatory is not too far from us. It is located on a man-made peninsula that juts pretty far out into the lake. The water acts as a stable temperature background to prevent heat waves from the ground rising up and distorting the image. It's a very busy lake, people boat, water ski, fish, and what have you, on that lake. I knew that it was a pretty important observatory, but I didn't realize it held such a high status.

Looks like the movie version of the Eye of Sauron... creepy.
