Yeah, the initials "B.S." could tend to raise eyebrows, although there is precedent; I believe the Russians called their 236-inch the "Big Telescope" for years. Bolshoi Teleskop, or something similar. SLAStroscan? Only if we paint it bright red and escrow legal funds for when Edmund sues. How about "Tooelescope" "Cyclops" comes to mind. "Swamp Thing" takes location into account. "Mosquito Telescope" for similar reasons. KECK-III (hows that for attitude?) Hubble-II But I keep coming back to: G.R.I.M. (Grantsville Reflective Imaging Monster, so Bruce can't squabble. Or maybe Giant Relfective Imaging Monster) Imaging can refer to both visual and captured images. Patrick wrote:
I'd also like to have a better name than "Big Scope". I coined that name long ago thinking it would only be a working name, little realizing that all this time later we'd still be using it.
