1954?!

Just reading about the Questar Corporation telescope over at the amazing wikipedia...

Made in 1954? Holy cow! That just makes this even more amazing.

I like the remark, "almost immediately this 'observatory-in-a-box' was considered the 'Rolls-Royce' of telescopes." That's a good way to describe it. Beautifully constructed. You can tell they spared no expense. Wonderful engineering.
