As I recall from some hideous PBS in a hotel room, the 100" [?] was too tiny for anything else, according to the guy who built the 200" on Palomar. *I'm way too busy to look it up. Well, that's funny - up here at Lick, the 120" still does amazing science. In fact, amateurs with scopes far smaller contribute immense knowledge every year. I think the interviewee was suffering from aperture envy. |

Not immigration, 'tard boy, we're talking 'asylum'. Pull your head out of your Marxist ass. You are being played like a cheap suit.
