[AZ-Observing] Re: Kitt Peak in Moonlight

Hi Brian,

That's pretty neat. Didn't even know there was a webcam there. It helped me
to choke down the browser so that the white background is cropped out giving
a bit more contrast. I could then make out that the series of "dots" in the
upper left-hand corner were actually part of the "catwalk". The lights from
Tucson seem fairly bright. Any webcams on the Clark Dome?

     I was surprised to notice last night that the Kitt peak webcams
are just sensitive enough to show the telescope domes and some
other features at night when the Moon is bright.  At least the
north-looking camera at the 2.1-m telescope doesn't look too bad:
