 after reading this caption:  "The mesa pictured, north of Happy Jack, 
will be the site for the 14-inch discovery telescope..."   14-inch??  $30 
million??  Celestron must be pulling out all the stops on this one!

 On the CBS local news the other day, they called the new telescope a
"14-foot" instrument. This comes closer to the size announced by Lowell.
News people can confuse inches, yards, feet, (forget about meters!) and
miles real easy.
