The white column to the
right-hand side of image 1 (with 2 plaques) is the pier for the
telescope. It goes all the way up through the building without touching
it. This isolates the mechanism from the building, which could be moved
or buffetted by strong winds. This would in turn cause blurring of
deep-space photographic images which need long-exposure times -
sometimes requiring in the region of several hours exposure for each
image.
