The observatory at McLean High School


This is a spectroscope. The curved strip lying inside the box at the left is the film holder.


A closer view of the spectroscope, showing the diffraction grating in its cell.


A non-functioning telescope in the corner. There is no mirror or focuser, but there is what appears to be a corrector plate. 


A solar filter for the main thirteen inch scope. It needs to be inspected for scratches.
