DescriptionA metal table structure is hoisted onto the roof of Albuquerque High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The structure has ten attachments on the top for attaching telescopes. The structure is being pulled onto the roof with the help of a crane and a man standing near the parapet of the school building. Vi (Vioelle) Hefferan and three teenage students, all members of the Moonwatch Team, stand nearby and watch the process. The man is standing on a metal folding chair beside the brick parapet, reaching for the chain around the structure, to help guide it onto the roof.On View
