..based on 500 public photos, taken between 2000-2014 by tourists - sadly that means the receiver moved around. So if you can capture hundreds of photos please go and upload the photos on flickr.com
Btw. she put many awesome photos of the observatory on her flickr stream: https://www.flickr.com/photos/sondy/
