Lowell Observatory – Clark Refractor

The Observatory housing the 24-inch Clark Refractor, on Mars Hill in Flagstaff, Arizona, and now an historic site, as it was here that Percival Lowell observed Mars looking for the infamous canals and evidence for Martians. The refractor was undergoing refurbishment when I took this image in Feb 2015.
