Identity of peakThe peak in the center of the frame is Mt. Harvard 5440 ft. The antennae are: Left, KUSC-FM (public radio); right, cable tv relay transmitter. Mt. Wilson 5736 ft., is in cloud to the right of frame. Left of frame is Harvard Spur (recently re-named, I believe) just over 5000 ft.

Re: Identity of peakI appreciate the correction and additional information. The elevations I've seen for Wilson are 5710 and 5715. Anyway, I'll correct the caption on my photo. Happy holidays.

Mt. WilsonI worked at the Mt. Wilson Observatory for 2.5 years. The observatory elevation is 5710'; the highest point on Mt. Wilson is just east of the NBC-TV station. That is where the 5736' elevation is located. Incidentally, Occidental Peak just to the west of CBS-TV is 5730'. Often it looks higher than Wilson, but it isn't.
