<raptop> I'd default to no, in part because they're too close together
<raptop> OH: "Enraptoring tales"
<SnoopJ> WeylandsWings, does "practically" mean "with my eyeballs looking at this" or in terms of the operational wavelengths of the telescope?
<WeylandsWings> SnoopJ: as in physically separate mirrors that send their light to be combined at a single FPA in a coherent manner
<WeylandsWings> raptop: that was my first thought too
<WeylandsWings> raptop: by at what point does it become a sparse array. Because like the mit sparse array has the scopes separated by like the diameter of the optic
<raptop> hrm
<WeylandsWings> See why I am asking this question?
<raptop> I suspect technically JWST (had other signmented mirror telescopes) might count, but to a lesser extent than the old MMT.
<WeylandsWings> What is the telescope on Canary island that can do long baseline interferometry
<raptop> I'm unaware of any there. There's GTC, but that's just a segmented mirror.
<raptop> In OIR, there are several US interferometers, and... VLT?
<WeylandsWings> I was thinking the VLT with the small aux telescopes
<WeylandsWings> Which is ESO not ENO
<WeylandsWings> I have too many telescopes living in my head. Thinking the VLT was on the Canary Islands. Jeez
<raptop> heh
<WeylandsWings> Also small aux telescopes. They are each 1.8 m
<WeylandsWings> They aren’t exactly small
<raptop> Well, yes. Only in comparison
