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).

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. On 9/28/10, M Wilson <astro_outwest@yahoo.com> wrote:

Some of you may not remember that the refracter was named for SLAS member, and dear friend of mine, Andy Bogdan, who along with Bruce, Patrick, Roger Butz and many others, worked tirelessly building the rerfracter house. He died unexpectedly shortly before the completion, and the club chose to honor his memory by naming the refracter after him. I can't think of a better name for it.
