Simkin The conversation lasted 1 hr. Blanco had provided concept sketches of the telescope at the MSU SAC website to clarify discussion of instrument volumes and configurations.
Action items are in red.
There was some discussion of the 2-mirror Cass. and prime foci which were being considered by the project. Baldwin outlined the discussion that Sebring had had with the CTIO community during his visit the day before. Baldwin noted that the prime focus did not provide a useful pixel scale on existing detectors. The SAC was unanimous is agreeing that this focus, if provided, not be instrumented at first light. Baldwin hoped that making the enclosure oversized to accomodate this focus would not increase costs.
