Philip is one of the most prolific astronomers in the world and is well known for his work on Globular clusters, faint blue stars in the Galactic Halo, Horizontal Branch stars and photometric systems. Philip was the first American observer to use the Soviet Union s six-meter reflector in the Caucasus. The first part of his lecture will detail his experiences in the Caucasus. The second part of his talk will focus on the large telescope projects built, underway and planned. Since the 1980s the number of large telescopes has increased dramatically and the six-meter is no longer among the top 10 list.
