PILOT- THE PATHFINDER FOR AN INTERNATIONAL LARGE OPTICAL TELESCOPE

Abstract. PILOT is proposed as a partnership between Australia and Europe to develop a 2.4 metre optical/infrared telescope for Dome C, Antarctica. Funding for a detailed designed study is being sought from Australian sources, with a view to commencing construction in early 2008. The current “strawm...
