Welcome back Mark,
That's a nice scope aright! Who's going to make the shroud for it?

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<http://www.resource-intl.com/IMG_0153.JPG>
