The Merz telescope in the observatory in the "Old Town" district of Quito. I took several photos here. This is my favorite. David enjoyed our little walk from Hotel Quito to the observatory and back. Built in 1872, the Observatorio served as a catalyst for many scientific endeavors in addition to astronomy. Seismolographs gathered data in the early 1900's and the meteorological station is still in operation.
