The Lowell at Perth was mounted up on the tower to get clear of the turbulence the trees were expected to produce, but it didn't help, and the 1m Lowell was going to be subsequently installed at ground level (until it all went horribly wrong). To rub salt into the wounds, the 24 needs urgent remedial work to repair concrete cancer. Maybe Colin can take up the slack with his higher spec beastie- such an instrument would be capable of genuine scientific contribution!
The jetstream seems to be our biggest problem in Perth, the kind of steady seeing I grew up with in SE Qld just never seems to happen here. I can count on one hand the number of nights my 25 has reached its potential, and have room for a few more.
Cheers,
Andrew.
