Or could that be infringing copyright? As dude says above, how about making an image overlay with the nice high-res official photo? Or could that be infringing copyright?

And I did, indeed, mean the western side. My mistake. As for why there and not, say, San Juan area....haven't a clue. Pierre - oh yeah, sorry. And I did, indeed, mean the western side. My mistake.

The eastern end of the island is much more populated (San Juan in particular) and is the only part that I have visited. I would like to visit again via Google Maps.

As for the hi-res...I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. e.g. why NOT hi-res? I have many other shots of the dish, including a _very_ hi-res image that combined two shots into a vertical panorama showing the receiver assembly and the dish. These shots are on my personal photo album served on home bandwidth. I daren't link it for fear of getting swamped with hits. My bandwidth can't handle it.

Interesting that there are no major cities in that region of P.R. - so why the hi-res? Lee: that’s the western side!

The eastern side of Puerto Rico now has high resolution images where it previously did not. It's probably just a matter of time before more of P.R. is covered. In the mean time, here's a shot I took of the upper portion of the observatory when I visited there last year: http://atpm.com/10.05/puerto-rico/arecibo-observatory.shtml Arnaud - it would seem so.
