	Telescopes
		Telescopes and the equipment that go along with them are very analogous to human eyes and brains.
		At the end of the last century, the biggest telescopes had mirrors with diameters of around 40 inches (1 meter) and observations were "visual".
		On top of Mauna Kea on Hawaii there is a whole community of telescopes including the Keck 10m telescopes, an 8m Japanese telescope, radio telescopes, the Canada-France-Hawaii telescopes, and soon an 8m national facility telescope.

	CFHT's Hawaiian Starlight : discover the Universe as seen from Hawaii by the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope
		The role of CFHT is to operate, maintain and upgrade all the observatory systems, to make sure that the telescope remains competitive, and to provide first rate instrumentation to astronomers in Canada, France and the University of Hawaii.
		CFHT was originally designed for use with large photographic plates covering four times the size of the full moon on the sky.
		This instrument, made available to the CFHT community in 1996, improves the image sharpness obtained with the telescope: it corrects the blur caused by turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere (the effect that causes stars to twinkle) and yields an image quality nearly equivalent to that of a telescope outside the atmosphere, i.e.

		Twenty-five years ago, on September 28, 1979, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) was inaugurated on top of Mauna-Kea, a 4,200-meter high dormant volcano on the island of Hawai¹i.
		With high-resolution or multi-object spectroscopy, adaptive optics and polarimetry, CFHT has played an important role for a quarter of a century in the development of astronomy, thanks to the support of its member agencies in Canada, France and the State of Hawaii.
		Canada and France are devoting 500 nights of telescope time to the CFHTLS over 5 years to tackle important questions in today's astronomy.

	CNRS - 25 candles for the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope
		On September 28, 1979, the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope (CFHT) was inaugurated on one of the best observation sites in the Northern hemisphere, atop Mauna Kea, a 4,200-meter high volcano on the island of Hawaii (United States).
		The sixth largest optical telescope in the world, with a diameter of 3.60 meters, the CFHT was the result of a tripartite agreement entered into four years earlier by Canada's National Research Council (CNRC), the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the University of Hawaii.
		By contrast, the CFHT was designed from the outset to obtain a very large circular visual field with a diameter of nearly one degree, which is twice the apparent diameter of the full moon in the sky.

		The island of Hawaii is known for its warm hospitality and sandy beaches along the shoreline.
		Although the peak has benefitted the island and the world in many ways, a small but vocal group of Hawaiian activists are protesting the construction of new telescopes there and calling for a stop to observatory construction that is damaging an already sacred place for the island's natives.
		The plan specifies the total amount of new telescopes that can be built on Mauna Kea (three now, instead of five), where they can be built, what parts of the mountaintop can be built upon.

		All the new satellites appear to have distant so-called retrograde orbits - their orbital movement is opposite to Jupiter's spin - like the majority of the irregular satellites already recorded in the Jovian system.
		The moons were found using the world's two largest digital cameras at the 8.3 metre Subaru and 3.6 metre Canada-France-Hawaii telescopes atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
		Following the initial discoveries, the new moons were confirmed using the University of Hawaii 2.2 metre telescope with help from Yanga Fernandez and Henry Hsieh, also from the University of Hawaii.

	Xi Ursae Majoris AabBabc? System Orbits
		Past calculations of orbital elements and system mass ratios based on astrometry (and other visual observations) and the spectral type of Star Ba (G0-5) indicate that HD 98230 b is not massive enough to fully account for subsystem B, and suggest the existence of a stellar companion (i.e., Bc).
		Analysis of only one of 27 speckle interferometric observations (obtained with Kitt Peak and Canada-France-Hawaii telescopes) uncovered a fifth visual component to this multiple system (Mason et al, 1995).
		This object, however, apparently "never [has] had any effect whatsover upon the astrometric and radial-velocity behaviour of the observable components whose existence is reliably established" (Griffin, 1998, pages 275-276).

		With multiobject data from both GMOS on Gemini and LRIS on Keck, we confirm the true WD nature for 21 of 24 faint WD candidates (V > 22.4), all of which were previously identified as possible WDs through CFHT imaging.
		Fitting 18 of the 21 WD spectra with model atmospheres, we find that the mean derived mass of the sample is 0.8 Msun - about 0.2 Msun larger than the mean seen amongst field WDs.
		The results indicate that stars with initial masses between 2.8 and 3.4 Msun lose 75% of their mass through stellar evolution.
