We were lucky that they were in the "D" configuration. That means the 27 radiotelescopes were bunched close together around the visitors center. This is when they are looking for lower resolution overall structure images. The "A" configuration is when they are spread out with each arm being 13 miles. You would get to see very few of them close enough to the visitors center to photograph. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/f15/nm/VLA-6679.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/nebeeo5 http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/f15/nm/VLA-6682.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/peppnvq More info: http://www.vla.nrao.edu/ And just down the road is a nice campground, where I found a couple from Switzerland enjoying the stars by a campfire. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/f15/nm/Datil+Wells+Campground-6709-Edi t.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/q3j9fan View Large Comments welcome.
