Hi Rob,

Thanks for the link.

The story also interested me because the 74 inch telescope at the David Dunlap Observatory
in Toronto is the largest telescope I am aware of that one of our Argo Navis Digital
Telescope Computers had ever been installed on.

When it was originally built, it was the second largest telescope in the world.

These days the observatory is managed by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.

Best Regards
