I didn't know about this project until my visit to La Silla....

The other interesting project that I'd like to visit next trip is:

Imagine having four 8m telescopes...

BTW.... I've uploaded an AVI movie Tom Palmer took during our visit to the
4m SOAR telescope. We had a very nice private tour...

WARNING: 42MB file (but worth it):

The sounds are the wind and our voices. The scope's movement is quieter
than a new LX-200.

Oh... a personal favorite: http://www.resource-intl.com/IMG_0153.JPG

One last one... me at the control desk at Cerro
Tololo: http://www.resource-intl.com/IMG_0240.JPG
