We have two of the most remarkable telescopes in the entire world and some of the most talented members who have made them. The Schupmann is a marvel of engineering magnificience. It is a monument to it's creators that will endure for decades. Yes, you can stay at home and look at CCD images taken at higher resolutions through great instruments, but until you have actually looked through a telescope and drunk in the beauty with your own eyes, you have not seen, you have merely looked. Stowing the telescope and the building, we drove down the gravel road behind the red taillights of the car before me.
Success is sweet.
