[AZ-Observing] Journey to Palomar

PBS will be releasing a new documentary in November titled "The Journey to
Palomar - America's first journey into space". My understanding is that it
is inspired by the book "The Perfect Machine" by Ronald Florence which
documents the people and the history of the building of the Hale 200" on
Palomar Mountain. I am currently reading that very book and if the
presentation follows the same thread it should be very interesting viewing.
It is scheduled to air on the 10th. You can get an overview and watch the
trailer at the website: http://www.journeytopalomar.org/mainset.htm

If you would like to take a peek at the real thing, you can follow this link
