Debbie Goodwin is working with the folks at the newspaper to get publicity for <a href=\"http:\/\/keckobservatory.org\/keck_week_2013\" target=\"_blank\">Keck Week<\/a>.  In the process sent them one of the photos I had provided her.<\/p>\n<p>This is not actually one photo, but a panorama assembled from several shots.  It was a nice night, if very cold, the first light of dawn just visible on the eastern horizon.  Overhead the laser competed with the light of a bright moon.  We were doing tests of the newly commissioned Keck 1 laser when I had a chance to get up on the roof and take some photos.  Over the radio I begged Heather to lower the bottom shutter on Keck 1 so I could see the telescope inside the dome.  I then took about 15 thirty second shots spanning the full view from our roof.<\/p>\n<p>As cold as it was to shoot, it was also a pain to assemble, I worked on this one for hours to get it right.  Only about 180&deg; is shown on the newspaper, the original is a full 360&deg;.  The result was worth the effort, for your viewing pleasure I have re-posted the full version below.
