Palomar Mountain Range?

[edit]

I removed the reference to Palomar Mountain Range from the lead. I don't believe there is such a mountain range. If you read the Peninsular Ranges article it does not refer to a range but simply to Palomar Mountain. The U.S. Board on Geographic Names does not list any such range. You can check using this search engine. USGS topographic maps do not show the name. See this website. –droll [chat] 01:34, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Once largest telescope, and now...

[edit]

Isn't that still the largest observatory dome ever built? With the modern computer driven alt-azimuthal mounts fitting inside much smaller spaces it might also be the largest ever built equatorial mount. --BjKa (talk) 09:29, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Highest points in SD County?

[edit]

The article cited Cuyapaipe Mountain in the Laguna Mountains as a higher peak, implying that it was the highest in the county. But the two highest peaks in the county are Cuyamaca Peak and Hot Springs Mountain, and both are closer to Palomar than Cuyapaipe. I've edited the page, removing the reference to Cuyapaipe and replacing with both Cuyamaca and Hot Springs. Cedgin (talk) 06:18, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

José Antonio de Artigas Sanz

[edit]

The information about this person was removed as there was no reference provided. Perhaps he was connected with some of the other mirrors there, or was a technician at the CalTech optical shop? The information should go into those articles first.71.230.16.111 (talk) 09:01, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
