- Incidentally, people might like to chase up some info on CO2 cleaning
- of mirrors - helps keep the reflectivity up nicely. The ESO _Messenger_
- would be a good place to start, as the new ESO scope will have such a
- system built in. 'Fraid I don't know any more details, as it is only just
- being implemented at the Observatories here. If there enough interest, next
- time I'm down at Mount John ("Where?" you all cry! Have a look at one of the
- last issues of _Southern Astronomy_ ("What?")) I'll ask one of the friendly
- technicians for his references to photocopy.
