Excellent, thanks for the link Dean. I recently went to a presentation by the Australian GMT Team at the Australian National University. This will be an amazing scope. Seven mirrors +1 spare are being made for it giving the maximum aperture of about 24 metres and 10 times the resolution of Hubble.

Adaptive optics will be built into the deformable secondaries to deal with the atmospheric annoyances.

I think it will be spectacular!
