Four mirrors linked up at the VLT. Now that would be some resolution to get in the back yard.

The BFOT???

[jmorgan]

Been dipping in there (and other places) for a while for desktops. When I was a nipper, as far as I was concerned a telescope was a tube with a bit of glass in it and some bloke stuck on the end looking through. This place just keeps getting better and better.

Some of the images on the ESO site are incredible... here



Those were captured with just one of the 'scopes, I'd love to see what the combined one can do.

Hehe..... top 100 in a zip file, not seen that. 2 gigs though....
