Mars Observatory with Larry Stevens (age 14) in 1969

Urbandale, IA

This was a very blurry image taken by my dad using a Polaroid Camera. Got my 12.5-inch Cave f/6.9 during the summer of 1969, and this is a portrait of me with that telescope. My dad said he would help me build the observatory, and it was a design he came up with to store the telescope in when not in use. It was 10 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 6 feet high. Here, the north and eastern wall bones are mounted on the concrete pad. Don't zoom in too close. I used Topaz to smooth out the already blurry image. It worked, but it also added a few other artifacts.
