Built, I dunno, but in process, the LBT (Large Binocular Telescope) in
Arizona is 8.4 meters?  That'd be fun to look through....  Wonder if
they're making provision for eyepieces?


http://medusa.as.arizona.edu/lbtwww/lbt.html for project info.

http://medusa.as.arizona.edu/mlab/lbtcast.html  for information on
the first mirror.  Haven't been on the site lately; there are some nifty
pictures of the griding setup.  (They're working on the back side for
the while.)
