Today, Ken let Skippy and I go on the official tour of the Whipple Observatory which included a bit on VERITAS, two smallish optical telescopes and the MMT. Pictures to come, probably tomorrow by the time I land. This is because as I write this, I still need to figure out how to get home some of the stuff I've got. It turns out that a poncho, survey meter and a 2 lbs. bag of M&Ms (bought as a novelty, I swear!) take up considerable amounts of space in an already full bag.
Ideally, by the time I land I shall have chosen and formatted the pictures I'm going to post (there are some 200 to choose from from just today).

In no particular order, here are three shots I uploaded from the airport while waiting to board. The first two are the MMT and the third is myself in front of the Whipple 10m telescope. If you put yourself at twice the focal length, you'll fill the dish.
