Images of the Venus Transit June 8, 2004

When Carl Houghton was putting the road in for our house his excavator bucket broke a tooth in trying to move a big rock. I named that rock "broken tooth rock" and the observatory was named after that. I had a real problem in deciding on a name for the observatory and this name felt really good after I decided on it.

My observatory.
