Topic: LBT


  
  LBT Project Overview
The goal of the LBT project is to construct a binocular telescope consisting of two 8.4-meter mirrors on a common mount.
The LBT Corporation Board of Directors oversees the project, which currently includes two representatives from Arizona, Italy, and LBTB, and one representative from Ohio and Research Corporation.
During the 1996 construction season, the site for the LBT telescope on Emerald Peak was cleared of trees and rocks and a retaining wall was erected along the northeast side.

 LBT Project as a Response to a Challenge
LBT is the most cost effective project of the current generation of large telescopes under construction in terms of cost per collecting area (the primary measure of power in a telescope).
Thus the effective LBT field is limited only by the atmosphere (approximately 2 arc minutes at 2.2 microns) while that of the other telescopes is restricted to a few arcseconds.
Thus, the LBT will be unique in making high resolution true images even on faint objects while the VLT and Keck pair will complement this capability by extending the angular resolution to simple structures.
