Kitt Peak National Observatory Visitor Center and 0.5-meter Telescope.
This video shows the observing dome for the 0.5-meter telescope at the visitor center of the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), a Program of NSF NOIRLab, located on the Tohono O'odham Nation Reservation. The 0.5-meter telescope is dedicated to the public night observing program, astronomy workshops, and overnight telescope observing programs.
