Interesting building. Just a note, the last shot needs to be leveled. Looks like the camera was tilted slightly. Otherwise, nice shot. Thanks for sharing.

Great shots. Agree with Greg on the last one needs to be leveled. Looks like a very interesting place to visit.

These images are as shot, no post processing. The roof line appears to be level while the bottom of the stairs are not. I have a similar image taken with my Z8; most everything in the Z image is square and true and parallel. Perhaps at the moment I got this image there was a ripple in the space/time continuum? On the other side of the building is a sculpture showing space/time being warped.
I was inside this place several years ago; it closed soon after; it has since reopened to the public perhaps a year ago??? Have yet to get a look through their telescope.

Yes, the roofline appears to be nearly level but the stairs not so. I wonder if it was a phenomenon with the lens. I copied this image to photos and tried to correct it in the editing mode, but couldn’t do it quite right. But then I was using the built-in editing software in my iPad Pro and didn’t use a more sophisticated program. Sometimes a scene just fools the camera.
