Everything is self-guided. It's open till around 4 PM or so on weekends. Besides the famous 200-inch, there's a small photo/video gallery, and a small gift shop. It makes for an interesting side trip if you're going to be in the general area, but I wouldn't make a long journey just for that purpose. FYI: If you're planning a winter visit, be advised that there can be snow at the observatory elevation, and that the road is steep, narrow, and twisty. -- Mark Bixby Internet: markb@spock.dis.cccd.edu Coast Community College District 1370 Adams Avenue District Information Services Costa Mesa, CA, USA 92626 Technical Support (714) 432-5064 "You can tune a file system, but you can't tune a fish." - tunefs(1M)
