Incorrectly Labeled Photograph

[edit]

I deleted the Image:MariaMitchellObservatory_NantucketMA.jpg from this article. The photograph is a fine photograph, but it was a photograph of the Loines Observatory built in 1968 by then Maria Mitchell Observatory Director Dr. Dorrit Hoffleit. I had the opportunity to observe a rare Galilean satellite set up from the Loines Observatory on the evening of 17 October 2008. While the observatory in the photograph is part of the Maria Mitchell Association, it is not the Maria Mitchell Observatory. -Richard "Doc" Kinne (talk) 01:52, 2 November 2008 (UTC), Astronomical Technologist, AAVSO.[reply]
