Kitt Peak and the University of Arizona

I was invited to join an observing run at the MDM Observatory on Kitt Peak, and so got to spend a week in Arizona (1 night in Tucson, 4 nights at MDM, and then another 2 nights in Tucson). The first day I got the opportunity to look around the Steward Mirror Lab and see the mirrors currently being worked on for LSST and GMT. Then, we headed up to Kitt Peak, where we got to experience a fun storm the first night (including losing power) and eventually got to observe two out of our four nights. When not observing, the Kitt Peak National Observatory was a cool place to explore, and the views and sunsets from the top of the mountain were amazing.
