Re: [ATM] 20" Mirror

["Jerry B. Hillman" <JBHillman@ev1.net>]

Hello everyone,

>Jerry is very likely one of (compare his: "but I must make a
bigger mirror."),


Yes I must make a bigger mirror.  Somehow, regardless of the frustration I
know I will encounter, I must see what is up there.

40" isn't too big, it isn't big enough.  If I had an unlimited budget I
would be making the biggest mirror  usable on Earth, and would be hiring
ATM'ers from around the world to help.  I know when I finish this 40"
mirror, I will then start thinking in terms of a 60" or 72".  Why??  Because
there is something out there I want to see and a small mirror won't let me
see it.  I don't even know what that something is, but when I see the small
dumbell nebula as just a faint fuzzy, and the crab nebula is even fainter,
but the Large dumbell is a beautiful blue/green hourglass, I know I can't
stop.

If that makes me crazy, then so be it.  Won't be the first time, or the
last.

Clear skies, Jerry
