30 minutes with the AAT? Nah...

Humm let's see, 150 inch AAT, flux collecting area about 67,000 sq inches.
6 inch APO 113 sq inches....so everything else being equal about 592x more flux being gathered by the AAT in the same time.

Or to put it another way 19.5 hours of 6" data in under 2 minutes. Cool.
