Early History of KPNO and CTIO on Film
November 30, 2018
At the January AAS meeting, John Glaspey (NOAO) and Sharon Hunt (NOAO) will present an iPoster describing several movies made in the 1970s that highlight the Kitt Peak and Cerro Tololo observatories. The movies were made by John Lutnes of KPNO, with the longest movie running just under 30 minutes. The iPoster will link to a mini version made from clips taken from the movies. Links to the full-length version will eventually be added to the NOAO Library web site. The featured titles include Skies of the Andes, Stars, Galaxies and the Southern Skies, and Journey Into Light.
