I am not sure about having the second largest telescope - maybe radio-telescope, we have 'lots' of those - but don't think we have any really big optical telescopes. The largest is probably at Siding Springs, where there are a bunch of optical 'scopes. Maybe they can configure them into a single device, I know that can be done with radio-scopes - not sure about optical. It's not that high there, but it is a long way from 'civilisation', so very little light pollution, and its very dry, so very clear.
Low 20s today, no wind, so quite sticky

We were told when we went to McDonald Observatory about your telescope .
Or that you were soon to get one.
I didn't realize except around the edges you are a desert.
