Here’s a silent B&W clip of the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) and one of Kitt's telescopes, the McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope, during the early ‘60s. Kitt is located outside of Tucson, Arizona, atop the Quinlan Mountains. 

The clip begins with a shot of Kitt Peak National Observatory signage. A dome of the observatory is seen in the background. 

The camera then pans left from the Kitt Peak sign to reveal the the McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope -- a large, white, triangular structure. We see close-ups of the telescope’s exterior and some of its revolving parts. The camera pans from the telescope’s exterior to the sun, which is shining overhead. 

A technician, perhaps an astronomer, who is probably inside the telescope, adjusts the quality of the image seen on a monitor by turning a dial. The monitor is likely showing what the telescope is currently observing. The monitor seems to be showing a partly-cloudy and partly-sunny sky with an antenna visible in the foreground. Also seen on the monitor is what appears to be an eclipse — a darkened circular structure with edges that are aglow.

We then see inside the telescope, what appears to be the “barrel” of the telescope. Light shines through the barrel. Three men in a dark room stand around a table that has a circular center that is lit-up. The men are wearing protective shades as they look at the lighted circle, pointing to its parts. 

The final shot shows the the McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope from afar.
