The views with this instrument are exceptional and have proven to be exceptional on many deep-sky objects. Making a long and scenic observing run on a historic and unique instrument is a memorable entry in any observing log book. Many will be watching. Perhaps Schupmann Hill will be the eye of the storm. After Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp it is bound that years with big bright comets are more fun than years without them.
Many possibilities exist for future Stellafane projects.
Consider the concept of a large aperture telescope for either visual or image use. The tube assembly to use a light-weight upper end and a truss framing and a Nazmuth focus to allow a seated observer at floor level. The observatory building, designed for simplicity and cost effectiveness, to be located on the newest Stellafane land added recently. The need for such a new telescope will be gauged from the scheduling, or more precisely, the over scheduling, of the McGregor Telescope. Schupmann Telescope is shown ready and observing into the next century and millennium.
