In 1896, Percival Lowell commissioned the construction of the Clark Telescope. More than 100 years later, the telescope was in desperate need of cleaning and renovation.

This telescope inspired me getting into astronomy back in 1986 when i watched the tv seriesVoyager ..the most memorable part where Carl Sagan walked into this observatory at night,...opened the dome shutter...accompanied by the music from Gustav Holst ,..Mars ,.. and moved this telescope towards mars,... Beautiful... Hope to visit this observatory one day,..
