message: I am puzzled by the statement in the info box that the resolution depends on the target. As far as I know, the angular resolution is a feature of the airy disk which depends on wavelength, diameter, seeing conditions (turbulence, AO, detector readout time), and
the spectroscopic resolution is a feature of the spectrograph (??) R. J. Mathar (talk) 13:37, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

message: The article currently compares the ELT's light gathering area and sharpness to the Hubble. Now that the James Webb Space Telescope is in service, it might be better to compare to the Webb. The ELT has 38x the light gathering area of the Webb (straightforward calculation 978/25.4), and about 20x the resolution (0.1 / 0.005 -- see ). Unless there is some objection, I will update the article. --Macrakis (talk) 12:03, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
