The telescope is located at an altitude of 4,214 m (13,824 ft), latitude +19 deg 49 min 34 sec, longitude 155 deg 28 min 20 sec West. The University also operates the 61-cm telescope at the Observatory. Typical zenith dark sky brightness values for Mauna Kea are B = 22.4, V = 21.1, Rc = 20.3, J = 16, H = 14.5, K' = 14.0, and K = 13.5 mag arcsec^-2. Minimum temperatures at the summit are generally at or below freezing, but rarely go lower than -10 deg C (14 deg F) during the winter. In the summer, they usually range around freezing. Daytime temperatures are normally about 10 deg C (50 deg F). See the University of Hawaii Telescopes at Mauna Kea Observatory User Manual [UHGUIDE1996] for a detailed description of the 2.2-meter telescope."
