Half Open

A side view of the teal telescope mount assembly, which is the steel support structure for the Rubin Observatory telescope, camera, and mirrors. The shape of the mount assembly resembles a vase a bit taller than it is wide, rounded on the bottom and tipped on its side. We can see through the mount assembly's open steel framing to the other side of the dome. All around is the teal steel framing that makes up the observatory dome. The dome is partially opened above.
