Yes I saw it on the news yesterday. I'm trying to visualize the finished telescope here in the family room. The room is 32' wide, Just about the length of the telescope. The structure will be 7 - 8 feet wide truss tube or other structure. It will be enormous, Basically it will be the size of my inside east wall.

You have your finger on the pulse of amateur astronomy in Utah, Ziggy.
I know Steve, but have never met Mike. I'm betting that he's a single guy. On Nov 16, 2012 3:41 PM, "Siegfried Jachmann" <siegfried@jachmann.org> wrote:
I notified Patrick of it on Tuesday and he had it in the news.I saw the mirror when Vaughn Parsons still had it. I'm glad to see it being made into a telescope.

Did anyone else see KSL's story on the 72-inch mirror that Steve

delivered to someone recently? I missed most of the details, including the name of the crazy guy who's going to have the largest amateur scope since Lord Rosse.
