The 16" blank for the primary mirror was received from AGI in November 2010 with a radius of -3008 mm.
Currently the primary blank is in the our lab awaiting further optical fabrication.
The Telescope Team is moving forward rapidly in the Spring 2011 semester. We made this blog so our friends, family, and sponsors can keep up with recent developments.
