pretty good Mount Wilson video; not just a walkthrough; has some good astronomy facts.
Mount Wilson was the real workhorse where Edwin Discovered how far away the galaxies were, and then discovered the expansion of the galaxies and hence the universe. Before there was the push button Mount Palomar telescope, with it's exotic materials glass that doesn't expand due to every thermal fluctuation, and lots of electronics, there was this comparatively medieval looking thing.
