Oku Observatory Survey     The survey in Okayama, Japan, by Nobuo Ohkura and Youichirou Nakashima started in 2000. Nobuo Ohkura operated the survey at Senoo Observatory for two years between 2000 February and 2002 February, and for one year and three months between 2003 September and 2004 December. Youichirou Nakashima and Nobuo Ohkura moved the CCD cameras, computers and telescopes from Senoo Observatory to Oku Observatory, and started the new survey at Oku Observatory in 2006 November. The following photos show the scenes at Oku Observatory with Nobuo Ohkura (near side by the telescope) and Youichirou Nakashima (far side from the telescope).
