So, the name is actually the moniker of the primary manufacturer or biggest benefactor?
Geez, we are an uninspired lot. That's the way they've always named them.
A nickname should reflect character. We can do better in all three instances.

To those inSLAS, there's three telescopes that make up the club's SPOC site. They each have a nickname. One is the Bogdan, another is the Grim, what is the affectionate name for the third (16" reflector) scope? (For the life of me, I can't remember and have been racking my brain the whole day, trying to come up with it).
