This is the 120 inch Shane reflector telescope - so named after the Director of Lick Observatory during the construction in 1959. This is really worth the visit as the tour is self guided & you wander & press a button to play a DVD that was made in the 50's. It has some great music & of course it includes the one narrator of all American info-films of the era who has such a dramatic tone of voice. Ashwin was enjoying the sound of his own voice in the space too, screaming & running around like crazy!
