Nice telescope. I remember when SALT meant Strategic Arms Limitation Talks. Nice to see the acronym applied to something in astronomy. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life.

It'll get better known as time goes on. I hardly ever hear of the SALT talks as related to the arms race anymore. But the telescope as it begins to make more contributions, will be whats know by this generation as SALT...if that made sense.<br /><br />In any case, kind of nice to see the SALT acronym utilized to describe a telescope. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life.
