Big DIY Amateur Telescope Project

Steve Taylor writes: "News from England. We (crazy English people) have just received a 42" mirror blank, to build an Internet-enabled robotic telescope. We are going to grind and figure the mirror ourselves. This is open source hardware -- everything we do will be freely documented and available to other similarly deranged groups." Good luck, godspeed, and please continue with the same course of treatment.
