#4 All telescopes are tools of goodness so I went looking. Not finding much. The comments are interesting.

Can't tell if this is a planning stage deal or if all photos are embargoed until later? I suspect this is vapor glass.

#6 Couple comments at Shipman's link are interesting. I did not know islam was responsible for geek civilization. And though telescopes are things of goodness, they attract juice and we aaalllll know what that means.

(its the responses which are good)
