Second version of the model to match Google Earth image. Buildings have a concrete base to match altimetry data. In fact the mountain top was flated and all telescopes are at the same level. My model reflecting that was not accepeted as Google Earth ready. #astronomia #astronomy #brasil #brazopolis #cupula #dome #itajuba #minas_gerais #observatorio #observatory #pico_dos_dias #telescope #telescopio
