I always thought the mount for the palomar telescope looked badass, nothing against the mounts for other large telescopes, they are all engineering masterpieces in there own way. But palomar is this intimidating battleship gray equatorial mount, a very cool design I have seen no where else.
If in the area I highly recommend taking the pilgrimage to visit a temple of science like palomar, it is very neat to see the beast with your own two eyes.
