Was up on Mauna Kea Saturday night while doing a Big Island tour with some mainland visitors, just hours after learning of Commander Armstrongs passing. At the 9000' elevation there is a visitors center and and a very large Newtonian telescope was set Up and focused on the Sea of Tranquility. Pretty much focused on the area of the of the Apollo 11 landing. Very cool and a fitting view of The area where Commander Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on another world. Some very brave people in that program.
