The MMT

The MMT Observatory sits atop Mt. Hopkins. It was originally called the "Multiple Mirror Telescope" when it was built and it had 6 - 1.8-m mirrors in a building that rotated with the telescope. Recently, it was overhauled so that it only has a single mirror, so I suspect MMT means something like "Mega-Mirror Telescope" or "Mono-Mirror Telescope". This image was taken from the summit of Mt. Wrightson with my 300mm lens with an exposure of 1/640 seconds at f/8, ISO 200.
A frequent photoblog with select favorites of my photographs. Subjects are typically nature, landscape, astrophotos, existing light.
