Sure, but it's a big telescope mostly buried in the ground designed to look at the sun. Not sure how much use it could possibly be in relation to its proximity

- subcosmos 8y agoThere are multiple telescopes there. Solar observatories need to track the sun, so they use a little mirror (heliostat) at the tunnel entrance that changes angle to track the sun, so you can point it anywhere. http://www.astropixels.com/observatories/KPNO/KP80-127.html http://www.astropixels.com/observatories/KPNO/KP80-127.html
