Up Goes Dome For Observatory: Workmen use a crane to lift dome of the University's new half-million-dollar astronomical observatory in Stinchfield Woods northwest of Dexter. The dome was placed on top of the observatory building yesterday. the building was constructed with National Science Foundation and U-M funds by the Butcher and Willits construction firm of Ann Arbor. It is located about a half mile east of the U-M's Peach Mountain Radio Astronomy Observatory in the vicinity of an older U-M optical observatory. The 50-inch telescope for the new observatory is expected to be delivered sometime in May, according to Prof. Orren C. Mohler, chairman of the U-M astronomy department.

Telescope To Travel: Workmen remove tube of the University's 24-inch Schmidt telescope at the Portage Lake Observatory near Dexter yesterday prior to shipping the instrument to Chile where a U.S. astronomy observatory is being built in the Andes Mountains. The U.S., a European group, and the Soviet Union are all building observatories in the Andes in a race to make the first detailed exploration of the southern hemisphere sky. The U-M telescope will be returned to Ann Arbor after five years of observations. The removal of the instrument is being supervised and paid for by the National Science Foundation.
