Hope he does not fall asleep while on top of the ladder. Being a truck driver probably helps prevent that. I do no someone that almost did and luckily had only a 2 foot jump. I remember Mike was talking about this when Steve got married, he did stick with it. My count it is like a 15 year project. I (and my family) were very fortunate to enjoy the views with that
telescope on the evening of 10/6, and it was absolutely awesome.
Mr. 70 (not 2-meter Mike!), has done an incredible job with this telescope and deserves some serious congratulations and respect. As he says in the piece; he would like to tell anyone that they can build something like this. However, there are only a rare few individuals who would have the guts and determination to finish a project like that.
Well done Mike! Steve and Charlie were right there with him through it all also.
