KPNO stands for Kitt Peak National Observatory.

I love your great observatory sceneries. I have them all. I got an extra surprise on your Parkes radio telescope work when I found the Meade LightBridge dobsonian telescope in the scenery. I worked for Meade and the LightBridge was my project. You must have one to get the detail so accurate. Keep up the great work.

Nice, I lived in Rio Rico, AZ as a teenager which is south of Kitt Peak. We used to ride our dirt bikes up to the observatory. 😊
