Night Shots, August 12, 2005
For all you folks who have wondered --- the "glow" pictured on the dome is not visible with the naked eye nor with binoculars. The images are long exposures (notice the star trail movement in the sky) allowing the heat of the dome to record in the image. This is NOT "magma". It is just hot rock.
