Merge Into Mount Graham International Observatory

[edit]

Since the LBT is the main component of the Mount Graham International Observatory, it would allow faster, easier access to telescope information if this article was merged into the MGIO article, possibly as a shorter section with reference to this article. Log'a'log 02:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since this hasn't happened (or has been undone), this may be moot, but I don't agree. I would almost be more tempted to do the merge the other way... except that the instrument seems to be coming up to speed very slowly.sinneed (talk) 15:09, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:2004.jun.jpg

[edit]

Image:2004.jun.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Not quite...

[edit]

As of 2008, the LBT is the world's highest resolution and most technologically advanced optical telescope, creating images in the near-infrared with 10 times the resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope.[1]

There are a couple of problems: 

- The light-gathering power will be 10 x Hubble
- The IR resolution will be 3 x... along the axis of the interferometer...

http://lbtwww.arcetri.astro.it/tech/interf98.htm may be a better source.

Very little LBT news coming out.sinneed (talk) 15:02, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That is not accurate. The light gathering cabability in monocular mode is 12.25 times that of Hubble. In Binocular mode it is 24.5 times that of Hubble. For angular resolution, the LBT will have a resolution 9.5 times that of Hubble (operating at Infrared Wavelengths), along the axis of the Interferometer. Going the other direction it is 3.5 times that of Hubble. The article from BBC news is accurate in what it says.Martin Cash (talk) 15:10, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of PR hype

[edit]

The following paragraph...

"To have a fully functioning binocular telescope is not only a time for celebration here at LBT, but also for the entire astronomy community," UA Steward Observatory Director, Regents' Professor and LBT Corp. President Peter A. Strittmatter said. "The images that this telescope will produce will be like none seen before. The power and clarity of this machine is in a class of its own. It will provide unmatched ability to peer into history, seeing the birth of the universe."

belongs in a press release, not an encyclopaedia. If no-one's objected in a week, I'll remove it

"Eco nuts" really balanced language?

[edit]

Not being a native English speaker, I'd like to raise the issue of the section headline "Eco Nuts Controversy". I question if it is neutral POV. Mumiemonstret (talk) 05:10, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The language has long since been removed. I'd be interested, though, in how the squirrels fared. 76.102.1.129 (talk) 02:41, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 3 external links on Large Binocular Telescope. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).
